Dipping Systems (SNS)(from
$219.00
)
Follow us for more insight into our courses –
Our Dipping Systems training is flexible and self-guided, with pre-recorded and live educator-led components.
Note that SNS is a well-known brand of Dip, such that people think SNS and Dip are one and the same. We do not teach with the SNS brand, but our Dip training is product-neutral and gives you a basis for all brands.
This Module is suitable for anyone from complete beginners with no experience through to qualified Nail Techs wanting a refresher.
When you enrol, please make sure to choose a ‘Live Lesson’ and a ‘Kit’ option under ‘Add Ons’
During this Module we will cover –
- The science behind Dipping Systems such as SNS and Artistic Perfect Dip
- How to apply a Dip Overlay
- How to maintain Dip Manicures
- How to remove Dip
- How to extend the natural nail with Dip
- How to create an ombre effect with Dip
Your fees include –
- 7+ 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
Live Lessons
Yes, we have In-Person Classes. Yes, we also offer online options!
It’s a common misconception that our online courses are just pre-recorded videos, however they actually include indepth live lessons done via Zoom. We genuinely find that students get better results from online training as they can see closer and across multiple angles, even recording their lessons to rewatch.
All of our courses have the option to include live lessons.
These can be –
- In Person, one-on-one, hosted by your Mentor at their own salon. View the locations of our Mentors here.
- Online, one on one, at a time that works for both you and your Mentor.
- Online, in a group, with one of our Accountability Groups.
Live Lessons are optional if –
- You have previously completed training in the same subject and are using this course as a refresher.
- You plan on working towards the Introduction to Nail Technology – once you enrol, you’ll have no additional costs unless you need to resit your exam more than once.
- You only plan on doing a couple of modules and are happy with an A5 ‘Short Course’ Certificate.
Live Lessons are compulsory if –
- You’d prefer to work towards the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology.
- You only plan on doing a couple of modules and want a gold-foiled A4 ‘Comprehensive Course’ Certificate.
When enrolling, you need to choose a Live Lesson option as the choice you make affects the price you pay.
Kits/Product Inclusions
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.
When enrolling, you need to choose a Kit option as the choice you make affects the price you pay.
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.
As you work through the pre-recorded content of each Module, you will often see markers that say ‘It’s Time to Book a Lesson’ (which refers to a live session with a Mentor). There will be instructions on how to book. You can see a breakdown of all lessons by downloading a Lesson Guide from our Student Resources page.
Lessons can be booked with complete flexibility around your own needs and availability, matched with the availability of your chosen Mentors. You might choose to attend only mornings, only afternoons, only weekends, or a total mix and match – it’s entirely up to you.
Lessons and exams can be completed online or in-person, at a cost of $49/hour or $349 for an 8-hour day. Occasionally, group lessons will be available, at a cost of $49 for 3-hours.
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.
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. If you choose in-person lessons, these will be in the salon of your chosen Mentor. Mentors and their locations can be seen here.
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.
Is there a Payment Plan?
If you’re on a budget, we recommend that you enrol in each Module one at a time. You can pay using a credit card, bank transfer or LayBuy.
