Our Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) 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.

Comprehensive Courses have a guarantee of quality. Between pre-recorded videos, live lessons, free repeats on live lessons, portfolio submissions, exams and free repeats on exams, there is no way that you will not be a great Nail Tech when that certificate goes on your wall.

During this Module we will cover –

  • Product Knowledge
  • How to choose the right BIAB for your salon
  • How to upsell BIAB services in your salon
  • Pricing your BIAB services
  • BIAB Overlays
  • BIAB Extensions
  • Rebalancing BIAB
  • Removing BIAB
  • How to use BIAB to encapsulate nail art
  • Plus FAQs and how to troubleshoot common beginner mistakes

Your fees include – 

  • 4 x 3-Hour Live Lessons. These are completed online with the help of a Mentor, who will guide you through practicing each skill for the first time.
  • 13+ 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.
  • 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
  • The opportunity to repeat classes for free for 12 months subject to availability.
  • Unlimited attempts at your Assessments

This course does not include – 

  • 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.

Important Note – 

A few of the videos in this module (all shorter ones, thankfully) have an audio echo. We must have bumped a setting or something, because they’re all from one particular filming session and the audio is fine in videos shot before and after that session.

We have discussed re-shooting them, but, as a team, have come to the conclusion that as the majority of these were adlibbed and we are proud of the information they contain, we don’t want to re-shoot and end up with an inferior level of information in the new video. It’s always hard to make the same adlib magic twice! We have discovered that the echo varies in effect between listening devices, so if it is significant for you, try with and without headphones or on a different device if you can.

The way we price our courses is based on the hours of live classes, not the hours of pre-recorded content, and you do still get 12 hours of live education with a mentor, no matter what.

How does it work?

Within 2 business days of enrolling, you will receive access to the online components of your course, which you can access by logging into this website. You can work through the content at your leisure.

You will occasionally see markers that say ‘It’s time to book a lesson’. These refer to the live, Mentor-led Zoom Lessons. There will be instructions on how to book. We have a range of options available, with weekend, evening and weekday lessons available for you to pick and choose from.

You can also see a breakdown of all lessons by downloading a Lesson Guide from our Student Resources page.

When you’re ready, book in for your Exam, also done via Zoom.

What if I’m not good enough?

Your live lessons are where, after watching the pre-recorded demonstrations, a Mentor can help you in real-time. There’s a misconception that you need to be good before you join a lesson but this is definitely false! A lesson is where your Mentor guides you through practicing for the first time – you’re not supposed to be a master.

Once you’ve completed all lessons within a module, you are allowed to repeat them for free until the end of your 12-month Study Period, which will also help with your confidence.

Where are the courses held?

Our online courses are 100% Online including pre-recorded, live and exam components. Complete from your home or salon, no matter where you are.

Will I get a Certificate?

This Module is part of the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology. A Sticker to add to your Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology certificate is included with this course, available after all criteria are met.

If you would like a certificate additional to the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology qualification, you can purchase one in the ‘Certificates’ category of our online Shop. For comprehensive courses, this is an A4 Certificate.

Is there a Payment Plan?

If you’re on a budget, we recommend that you start with our Short Courses. You can pay using a credit card, bank transfer or LayBuy. We also have a ‘Pay As You Go’ version of some courses.
