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, but need to complete it before attending live lessons.

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. If you have limited availability or need to finish quickly, please email us to check your Mentors availability before enrolling.

Tell me more about Gel Polish

Gel Manicures, using UV-cured instead of solvent-based polish, gained popularity in the early 2000s as a more durable alternative to traditional nail polish, offering long-lasting colour and shine. 

The Pros – Gel Manicures are renowned for their durability and ability to resist chipping, making them ideal for clients seeking vibrant and long-lasting nail colours. They cure quickly under UV light, allowing for efficient salon treatments with a wide range of colour choices.

The Cons – Clients occasionally refer to Gel as having ‘ruined’ their nails however if applied professionally, removed properly and maintained in between, the natural nail should be no different after removal than it was before application.

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?

This course is 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.

Is there a Payment Plan?

Not for this module. You can pay using a credit card, bank transfer or Afterpay.

*Pedicures – Sometimes people ask if there is a module that excludes Pedicures because well, feet, but rest assured the Pedicure part of the course is fairly minimal because we are converting skills you have already learned. This means that if you want to specialise in Pedicure services, you still gain all the skill and knowledge to do so, but if this isn’t your jam, it won’t be too torturous. There is one live lesson on toes and if you really have to, you can do this one on yourself. 

**Live Lessons – 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. However, 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 SHORTMANI at Check Out and we’ll remove live lessons from your enrolment. You still have to do the Assessment though!

***Don’t need a kit? We do require you to use professional-only products during lessons and assessments, but if you already have these, that’s ok! Use Coupon Code NOKITMANI at Check Out and we’ll remove the kit from your enrolment.
