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. Start working through the modules in the order they appear. You will occasionally see markers that say ‘It’s time to book a Lesson’ (which refers to a 3-Hour block with a Mentor via our Virtual Classroom). There will be instructions on how to book.

Lessons can be booked with complete flexibility around your own needs and availability. You might choose to attend only mornings, only afternoons, only weekends, or a total mix and match – it’s entirely up to you. Lessons are most frequently available from 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm but we do also have a small number of sessions available on weekends and evenings (6-9pm and 9am-5pm).

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

What is a Virtual Classroom?

Essentially, a direct video link to a mentor. You tune in with a link we provide using the camera on your phone. We can see what you’re doing. You can what we’re doing. We can see your mistakes and show you in real time how to fix them. If you live near another student – get together at the same house/salon and stream in together!

To get the best out of your Virtual Classroom experience, I would also suggest getting an Octopus Tripod from Trade Me (they’re under $5), attaching your phone to it, and attaching the Octopus to your overhead desk light so that your phone camera is facing down over your work space. Make sure your phone can be plugged in to its charger from your desk and that you have a good wifi signal.

Are products included?

Not in the course fees, but you can add a Kit if needed.

The reason for this is that our training is product-neutral. We teach with Artistic Nail Design products such as Colour Gloss but it’s important to us that your education is the priority and brand loyalty is a bonus.

You will need product to complete your course online. We would love that to be the products that we sell, we just understand that some of you will already have product and some of you are working for salons already. We don’t want to force anyone to pay for product they don’t need.

If you want to buy a kit to set yourself up from home, you can do so under ‘Add Ons’ by the Add to Cart button on this page. The kit includes everything you need to practice the skills learned during lessons. The items are full size, but we anticipate you using up some items during training. We don’t anticipate you running out of anything – this should be all you need.

Alternatively, you can buy items separately as you go (you’ll find a Recommended Kit List inside the Module), or you can use your own supplies.

Payment Plans

You can pay using a credit card, bank transfer or LayBuy.

After each section, you do a Chapter Revision. This is what one student wrote after the Traditional Polish section – 

What advice would you give to a newbie starting this Chapter?

Really pay attention to the instructions and the steps, don’t underestimate the module and think ‘oh this will be easy, everyone has painted their nails before, ill fly through this’ . The Monaco way is very detailed and focuses on a professional, high quality finish with a very high standard so don’t skimp out on all of the steps and do each one with care and attention and you will be rewarded with a stunning manicure 🙂 Also lots of practice, go along with the videos and with the step by step instructions and keep practicing.

I did my Beauty Therapy qualification in 2011 and we ‘briefly’ touched on Manicures and Pedicures, Ive been doing manicure and pedicure services for clients ever since and I though I knew what I was doing until I started the Monaco module…….turns out i knew nothing! The detail and care that is in the training and the virtual classrooms was actually quite mind blowing to me, I am so thrilled that I am upskilling – I wish I could go back to every client ive ever seen and re do there nails the way that Monaco has taught me as it would be a much higher standard!
