Practical Training
During the course you will practise acrylic nail application on a professional practice hand rather than on other students. This ensures you have plenty of time to develop your technique and confidence before working on real models.
Important Information
This course is designed specifically for beginners learning the fundamentals of acrylic nail application.
Advanced techniques such as colour blocking, nail art, or complex designs are not included in this course, as it is important to first master correct acrylic application and structure.
Once you have completed your training and gained experience, you may wish to progress onto advanced nail technician courses to expand your skills further.
Recommended Additional Training
To build a strong foundation as a nail technician, we recommend completing a Manicure and Pedicure Course along with Dry Manicure and Gel Polish Training before moving into acrylic nail services. While not mandatory, these courses help develop essential nail preparation and finishing techniques.
Kits and Products
Our single-day training courses do not include a starter kit. Instead, all professional tools and products are provided during the training day for you to use.
We take this approach based on student feedback so that you are not tied to a specific kit or brand before gaining the knowledge to choose the products that best suit your future business.
During your training you will receive advice on recommended brands, suppliers, and professional products, allowing you to confidently purchase your own kit after qualifying.
