Beginner Nail Tech Courses

For those just starting, a comprehensive course is key to gaining the foundational skills required to become a qualified nail tech. Our fast-track beginners classroom course is perfect for the novice nail tech. It covers all the basics, including gel polish application, acrylic powders as well as infills and removals. You’ll gain the knowledge and hands-on experience to become confident in your technique. Plus, you’ll learn essential topics like hygiene, salon etiquette, and client care – giving you a solid foundation to launch your career.


Another fantastic choice for beginners who want to learn in a face-to-face environment is our Acrylic classroom course where you’ll dive deep into the art of acrylic nails. From proper application techniques to creating stunning designs, this course ensures you have everything you need to succeed. And, of course, you’ll get to work with our high-quality acrylic powders during training. 

Advanced Nail Tech Courses

Already a nail tech and looking to level up? We offer courses that focus on specific areas to perfect your craft. If you’re already confident with your Acrylics game but want to perfect your Sculpting technique then our Acrylic Sculpting Classroom is for you is ideal if you. With this course, you’ll learn how to extend the natural nail using a form, eliminating the need for applying and blending a tip.

This technique is not only efficient but also a quick and seamless way to repair or replace a single nail while perfectly matching the client’s natural nail shape. Perfect for those looking to enhance their skills and offer a more tailored service.
