Are you interested in the latest fashion trends? Do you enjoy working with people? Are you creative and artistic? If so, then why not think about Becoming A Nail Technician?
Work in the beauty industry is both interesting and varied. Job satisfaction is high. As a Beauty Therapist, you would usually work in a salon with other beauticians, hairdressers etc. Or you can, if you wish, decide to be your own boss and run a ‘mobile’ business, visiting your clients in their own homes. Whatever path you choose, it’s a job you’ll love doing, and you’ll make new friends too!
The great thing about our Nail Technician course is that you can study in your own time, at your own pace, from home or from work. You will also have your own professional personal tutor offering tutor support by e-mail and post for a full 12 months from the day you receive the course.
On successful completion of the course, students will receive an accredited Level 2 Certificate Award.
Please Note: As this is a theoretical course it is recommended that students gain some hands-on training in a salon or practise on friends and family. To gain relevant insurance would require organisational membership and on completion of this course, you can attend a one day Skype assessment which would give students additional certification from The Guild Of Beauty Professionals which would allow students to apply for membership with them. The Skype conversion course would cost an additional £95.00 and can be arranged on completion of this course.
Please email us if you would like more information on available centres for conversion courses.
The course has been mapped against the National Occupational Standards for the Beauty industry set by habia.
