Tell me more about IBX
IBX, a nail treatment system that penetrates and strengthens the natural nail, emerged in the early 2010s. It revolutionized nail care by focusing on repairing and protecting the natural nail structure from within, improving overall nail health.
It’s a curable product that penetrates INTO the nail and THEN cures. This means that after application, the natural nail appears bare but now has hidden reinforcements that repair and prevent damage. You can continue to treat the nail as usual, applying gel, acrylic, or any other products onto a significantly stronger nail.
The Pros: IBX strengthens and repairs natural nails, enhancing their resilience and durability over time. It improves the appearance and condition of the nails, providing a foundation for gel or polish applications while promoting long-term nail health.
The Cons: Multiple treatments may be required to achieve significant improvement in nail strength and condition, but no one ever promised overnight success! Professional application is recommended to ensure proper penetration and effectiveness of the treatment.

How Does Online Training 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, but need to complete it before attending live lessons.
Our live lessons run every second week (watch a recording of one here!), giving you the chance to practice what you’ve learned and get personalised feedback from mentors. It's like having a coach in your corner, cheering you on!

You can choose the intake that works best for your schedule -

You will still get the pre-recorded content now so that you can immerse yourself in the nail world before live lessons start.
Is there a Payment Plan?
Not for this module.
You can also pay using a credit card, bank transfer or Afterpay.
FAQS
What if I’m not good enough?
Then you learn, and you try again, and you ask for help, and you keep going.
There's a misconception that you need to be good before you join a lesson but this is definitely false! Your live lessons are where, after watching the pre-recorded demonstrations, a Mentor can help you in real-time. The Mentor guides you through practicing for the first time - you're not supposed to be a master.
You can also re-sit all Assessments and rewatch all pre-recorded content for the duration of your 12-month Study Period (although only the first Assessment attempt is free)
Are the live lessons actually live?
It's a common misconception that our online courses are just pre-recorded videos, however they actually include in depth live lessons done via Zoom.
Your Mentor can see your desk as you work. You can see their desk incase they need to demonstrate something for you.
You can watch a recording of a real, live lesson here.
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.
***What if I don't think I need the live lessons?
- If you have previously completed training in the same subject and are using this course as a refresher.
- OR you plan on working towards the Introduction to Nail Technology
- OR you only plan on doing a couple of modules and are happy with an A5 'Short Course' Certificate
- then use Coupon Code SHORTIBX at Check Out and we'll remove live lessons from your enrolment. You still have to do the Assessment though!
**What if I don’t want a kit?
If you already have IBX, that’s ok!
Use Coupon Code NOKITIBX at Check Out and we’ll remove the kit from your enrolment.
Will I get a Certificate?
This Module can be completed on its own or as part of the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology.
If you intend to work towards the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology - You get one overall certificate, with space for stickers that show which modules have been completed. You can order the base certificate and the corresponding sticker for this course after all criteria has been met. This option is free for all students.
If you want a certificate specifically for this module alone - You can purchase one in the 'Certificates' category of our online Shop after all criteria has been met. This option is at an additional cost.
