Q. What's best to learn first, Gel or Acrylic?

A. They both produce great looking nails. This is what you should consider:
Acrylics have been around the longest, so generally there are more customers for Acrylic Nails than Gels. However if there is a good Gel Tech in an area, then there will be more Gel customers in that area. Gel is slightly easier to learn than Acrylic because you do not have to mix powder and liquid, but many Techs say Acrylic is more satisfying to work with. Acrylics have a smell that you (or your family) may not like, Gels are odourless.

Q. How long does it take to do one of your courses?

A. Most of our students complete the course in about 12 weeks, working 5 hours a week.

It depends upon how many hours you can put in. If you can do 3 or 4 hours a day you will complete the course in a couple of weeks. There is no time limit, we have had students complete the course in one week and others have taken 9 months.

Q. I've seen a second hand course on Ebay. Will I get a certificate if I buy the course?

A. No, unless you have arranged transfer of the course in advance.
We will only assess work, and issue certificates sent to us by the original purchaser of the course unless agreed by us in advance.
Under some circumstances it is possible to transfer a course, for example an unused course to another family member, but please phone us to arrange this first.
If you buy a second hand course from ebay, for example, you will have to purchase the assessment for that course separately for which there is a charge of 95 pounds. This buys you: telephone support, special prices on any additional Nail Trainer nails and extension tips you might need, assessment of your work, issue of re-take cards, products and re-assessment if you fail, issue of your certificate and membership of 'Aspire' when you pass.
We strongly advise you to call us first before buying a second hand course as many will have used, out of date, or missing items, some may have payments outstanding under our 'pay as you learn' scheme. You may well end up spending more to get a complete course than if you had bought a brand new course.

Q. Is the certificate I get recognised?
