Whether you're an absolute beginner or have already got some experience, we have a Nail Course perfectly matched to your level of ability.
|
 |
For the beginner We assume you know nothing about doing nails. You can start the course knowing that nail experts have assembled the tools, products, study material and DVD to provide you with an integrated learning experience that's designed to get you Nail Technician skills fast. We've thought of everything so you don't have to. |
|
 |
For the novice Maybe you've done a one or two day nail course, perhaps you've done nails on your friends or relations and now want to be more professional. You can safetly skip much of the 'Foundation' section of the course, moving on to the exercises that speed up and improve your technique and solve common application problems. |
|
 |
For the working Nail Technician You might be skilled with Acrylics but have customers demanding Gel nails. You might want to increase you income by offering Airbrushed Nail Art. You might be thinking of the premium that Sculpted pink & white nails command. You might already have a Nail Trainer hand from a previous course, in which case our 'Conversion Courses' are for you. Convert to any one of the nail systems, even Airbrushing and never have to turn a customer away again. |
| Why learn at home? |
Distance learning is fast becoming the accepted way to learn new skills. For many people there is no time for conventional classroom courses, you need a course that fits your busy life- style. Learn in the evenings, at week ends, at a time and place to suit you. Avoid the costly and inconvenient travel to and from the classroom and you don't need to find a baby sitter. You get to make your mistakes safely, in private, not on potential paying clients. Relax! Practice as much as you like for as long as you like on the life-like Nail Trainer hand; no 'small talk' required! Take the course at your own pace and watch the video over and over until you understand. There's no pressure from class mates or teacher to hurry up. You're not alone. Unlike many classroom teachers, your video tutor is an expert, but if you should get stuck, unlimited telephone support is included: friendly help is only a phone call or email away.
| How you learn |
Part 1: Foundation You'll learn about life in a nail salon and you will understand the issues involved with sanitation, salon procedures, nail diseases, different nail systems, tools, chemicals and products.
You will create your first nails. Gina shows you how to hold files and fingers, how to prepare the nail and create the extension. All the techniques are shown slowly and then at a speed you might achieve in a salon. You copy what you see on your own Nail Trainer. |
Part 3: Working the Whole Hand You bring together all the techniques you have mastered and learn some of the tricks of the trade. Saving your work. The nails you create on the Nail Trainer are detachable, you save them as you work though the course, so on completion our tutors get to see and asses your finished work. |
|
|
 |
| Getting your certificates |
 |
Your course workAs you work through the course you will be saving the nails at each stage of the nail build on our unique progress cards. You'll also have practised up to 60 sets of nails, perfecting the techniques you've learnt. You'll have answered up to 8 question papers and had one to one coaching over the phone or email. |
 |
Assessing your work
|
 |
Certification
|
Please note that 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.

Wow thank you Essential nails I have just found out I passed with 95% distinction, this course is fab and a must after completing the gel course, so important to learn how to infil and repair the work you have created on your client and keep them coming back to you for more sets, you can also teach yourself how to gel sculpt from the techniques in this dvd too, once you have completed the main courses this one is quick and easy, comes highly recommended 10/10. Thanks again EN.

Although i've only learnt gel, it told me how to repair acrylic nails, I often have to fix these for my clients. So it's really good to learn all the systems for maintenance
