Do I need to bring a model?

No

You do not need to take a model with you as you will work with another student on the day of training. The class runs with 2 or more people booked on and you can book 24 hours before the start date if you wish. If you do not wish to be worked on due to medical reasons, sometimes the tutor can provide one if advised beforehand.

This course holds between 5 - 13 CPD points (all professional bodies are different please check with the one you are registered with for confirmation of points they award for one day courses)

---

Do I need to have a manicure qualification to attend this course?

No

A manicure is not part of the Acrylic Nail treatment. The tools are different from those used within a manicure.

The only skills that are similar are cuticle work, which is still different as with manicures the hands must be soaked with nail extensions and the cuticle prep is dry.

The Anatomy and Physiology is the same in our manual for both courses, so there is no difference there.

A Manicure is a completely different treatment to Acrylic nail extensions. You will have professional tutors teaching you so picking up the skills will be easy. A manicure is about natural nail care and the Acrylic is an artificial treatment.

Students will also learn the contra- indications, client consultations and aftercare advice.

Products Used

Our beauty courses offer the opportunity to train in the technical aspects of application of the materials required for your chosen course, without losing valuable practical time trying to sell you products. We show you how to effectively use the product to achieve fantastic results, so you can build your client list and your business.

Our certification is not brand specific. In some cases you insurance may be invalid if you train with a branded product detailed on your training certificate and you then change to another brand. This also allows us to offer our training courses at a lower cost so that you can buy what is right for you and the necessary products rather than buying unnecessary and costly equipment.

---

Kits

Some of the beauty courses have kits available to buy on the day, enabling you to continue to build your confidence and skills immediately upon your return home.


Your tutor will advise you if a kit is available for your course when confirming your booking. Some kits may require payment in advance and others may be available for purchase on the training day.

Relevant anatomy and physiology is given in your manual, the manual is included in the price of this course and covers everything you have learnt during your days training.

There are no previous qualifications or knowledge required to take the course, beginners are welcome.

The tutor will advise you about the cost to charge your clients and insurance cover on the day of training.

Certificate - Insurance - Brands

Why is our course so popular?

This is because the certification we give you allows a student to work with which ever particular brand they choose to purchase later and use with their clients.

Importantly as we teach effective and safe methods with products our tutors love to use but do not insist on the students who attend to have to continue with any one given brand afterwards to gain insurance and use what they have learned with us professionally.

This then allows students to make their own choice of brand and also means that they are not tied by any particular brand when it comes to their insurance, so should they ever have a problem and if a claim is made and they have changed brand, they would still be covered (please check this with your insurance provider) giving you a lot more flexibility.

This also means you are not tied into buying brands from us which is very restrictive which only makes the school you are buying them from money but does not benefit you. This means the certificate you gain with us gives you the freedom to use what ever brand you wish, the tutors can guide you to good products but ultimately it is your choice!
