At Monaco Nail Academy, we understand that learning disabilities vary and that everyone learns differently. Our courses have been developed with input from neurodivergent individuals and graduates with learning disabilities (such as but not exclusive to dyslexia) to ensure we provide an inclusive learning environment for all students.

Most of the Assessments we require you to pass are practical, and very relaxed. You chat to your client while completing a full service. It feels like you’re just working in a salon.

The Theory Assessment is done online so that you can take your time, at home in your most comfortable environment. There is a time limit but you can also reattempt it every 12 hours.

If that still sounds daunting, you can submit your Theory Assessment orally, with an Educator asking questions out loud in a conversational manner, as if they were a client trying to get advice. You reply in conversation and your Educator will note your score as you go. You can avoid a time limit altogether by agreeing to complete the Assessment in a ‘closed book’ manner.

Here’s how else we support you:

• Tailored Course Design: Our course materials and assessments are designed with the needs of neurodivergent individuals and those with learning disabilities in mind. We aim to make learning as accessible and manageable as possible.
• Community Support: You’re not alone! Our supportive community, including current and past students, is here to help. Connect with others who have similar experiences and find encouragement and advice.
• One-on-One Mentoring: If you need extra support, you can book one-on-one sessions with a mentor. They can walk you through the assessment and provide personalized assistance to ensure you understand the material and feel confident in your progress.
• Inclusive Language: We strive to use inclusive and respectful language throughout our courses and communications. We believe in acknowledging disabilities to ensure everyone knows they are welcome and supported in our community. We are not infallible though, so please tell us if you spot something you think we should reconsider!

At Monaco Nail Academy, we’re committed to creating a learning environment where everyone can thrive. If you have any specific concerns or needs, please reach out to us—we’re here to help!
