Our Acrylic training is flexible and self-guided, with pre-recorded and live educator-led components.
This Module is suitable for complete beginners with no experience.
What does Short VS Comprehensive mean?
Short courses are quicker and cheaper than a comprehensive course. We consider Short Courses to be a way for everyone to get a foot in the door, no matter your time or budget constraints. Short Courses are more self-guided, where it is up to you to ask for support and monitor your progress.
During this Module we will cover –
- Picking up beads
- Natural Nail Overlays
- Using both Tips and Forms
- Natural-look Extensions
- Filing and Structure
- Backfills (2-3 Weekly Maintenance)
- Fixing Cracks and Breaks
- Safe Acrylic Removal
- French Extensions in traditional and reverse methods
- Blending Cover Powders
- Rebalances (2-3 Weekly Maintenance for French Extensions)
Your fees include –
- 14+ Hours of Video Content. Pre-recorded Demo videos allow you to see a demonstration from multiple angles, up close, and with the benefit of rewatching.
- Unlimited attempts at your Acrylic Assessment. This may be a Short Course but if we’re giving you a qualification, we still need to verify your quality of work.
- 7-Day Support via our Facebook Group. We have a beautiful, unparalleled community of like-minded folk in there, ready to welcome you.
- 5-Day Support via Email and Phone
This course does not include –
- Live Lessons. We keep the cost of our Short Courses down by not including any Live Lessons. You can choose to add these for $49 Per 3-Hour Group Session Or $80 Per Hour One-On-One
- A Portfolio Submission requirement.
- A Kit. Our courses are brand neutral and we don’t want to force you to pay for products that you don’t want or need. However, we do sell Artistic Nail Design products and kits are available if you choose to add them.
How does it work?

We require that you complete the online content first as it may answer many of your questions and solve many of the issues you are troubleshooting, leaving you able to make the most of your in-person session by only using it for skills you haven’t yet mastered. Your time with a Mentor is completely customised to suit your needs and have you leaving confident and ready to go!

Will I get a Certificate?
This Module is part of the Introduction to Nail Technology qualification. A Sticker to add to your Introduction to Nail Technology certificate is included with this course, available after all criteria are met.
If you would like a certificate additional to the Introduction in Nail Technology qualification, you can purchase one for $15 in the ‘Certificates’ category of our online Shop.
