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.

I am currently an aerobics instructor, but have a damaged achilles tendon and so needed a new business where i could learn quckly and start earning right away. I have managed to jugle family life with work only because of the flexible Nail Technician Courses from Essential Nails, so basically with all the amazing support I have had from Nathalie and Sarah, as well of course as the AMAZING courses you have provided, in only 3 months I have finished my training and am launching a business.....

 |
|
 |
"In many ways the courses are perfect for learning to compete, because the tuition is so technique based. The level of detail and volume of practice is fantastic. For me the Essential Nails Diploma course has been a great platform from which to innovate and become a competition winning nail technician."

|
 |
"I always wanted to become a nail technician, but as I worked full time my dream seemed out of reach. Thanks to Essential Nails my dream is now reality."
|
"After completing my classroom course, I tried to do extensions on a friend and it was a complete disaster. 3 Days after getting the Essential Nails Diploma Course I did a fantastic set of nails and was thrilled to bits."

This was my forth course with essential nails. It was lots of fun and gives you lots of ideas and inspiration. The dvd is very easy to follow. The couse provides you with a good selection of nail goodies to get you started. I look forward to choosing my next course.

My husband bought the course for my Christmas present it was the best present I got (some thing I really wanted for a change) I found the DVD very inspiring and excellent to work along with! When I open my kit, it was like opening a treasure chest full of lovely sparkling bits and bobs, I could not wait to get stuck in to it. In fact my Acrylic course work went untouched for a fortnight! I found nail art to be very addictive!!! Well done Essentialnails for putting together yet another great course. I have had nothing but 100% service from you all. Lesley Gray

Nail Art This is the fourth course I have had from essentail nails. My first one was around 7 years ago and launched my carreer as a nail tech. Although I have a fair amount of experience and dabbled in nail art, this course has not only inspired me, it's shown me some new tecniques already. It is the extra tips and tecniques in these courses that give us techs the edge and confidence that I haven't found on other courses. So WELL DONE looks like you've done it agian!!!!!
