Realise Your Ambition
Nails is one the fastest growing and most lucrative sectors of the beauty industry. The nail industry has been expanding drastically over the last 10 years. For many people, getting their nails done is now a regular part of their routine. It not only complements their look and makes them feel great but getting treatments from a Nail Technician helps them maintain nail health.
With our online Nail Technician course, you can take a huge step towards becoming a part of this bustling beauty sector and providing an in-demand service!
Specialise in Acrylics and Gel
By combining the teachings from our Nail Technician Acrylic course and Nail Technician Gel course, you will gain a comprehensive knowledge of both systems.
Acrylic overlays are probably the most popular type of artificial nail used within the industry due to their durability making it an extremely profitable skill to learn. They are often applied by a Nail Technician as an extension to the client’s natural nails.
Hard gel nails are another popular choice for clients to have as artificial nails. They are very similar to acrylic nails; however, they tend to be more flexible. Through our online Nail Technician course, you can master the skills required to apply both popular options.
As well as learning the skills needed to be able to offer these services, you will also learn the basics about hygiene, salon management, maintenance, and aftercare.
Take The Next Step
Please note, this is a knowledge-based course, so it will not qualify you as a Nail Technician. It is intended as the ideal introduction to this area of nail care, so you can make an educated decision as to whether this career path is the right one for you.
To work as a Nail Technician, you will need to complete a qualification that includes practical training to hone your skills and have your assessments signed off by an expert in this field. This enables you to secure the insurance you need to work professionally.
