Description

This course package has been designed specifically for those who wish to offer a full range of nail services to their clients. The package includes the following courses:

Luxury Manicure

A manicure is more than just grooming nails; it's an expression of individual style, creativity, and self-care. In this course, we will explore every aspect of manicuring, from nail anatomy to the latest nail trends, empowering you to offer exceptional nail services to your clients.

Luxury Pedicure

Pedicures are not just about pampering; they are about promoting foot health, enhancing beauty, and providing a rejuvenating experience for clients. Whether you're a seasoned nail technician or an aspiring professional, this course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to deliver exceptional pedicure services.

Gel Polish

Gel polish has revolutionized the nail industry, offering clients long-lasting, durable, and vibrant nail color options. Its versatility allows for endless creativity, from classic manicures to intricate nail art designs. Through this course, you will learn not only the fundamental principles of gel polish application but also advanced techniques to elevate your craft.

Acrylic Extensions

Acrylic nail extensions have long been revered for their durability, versatility, and ability to create stunning, customized nail designs. Acrylic extensions provide endless possibilities for expressing individual style and enhancing natural beauty. However, mastering the techniques of acrylic nail application requires precision, skill, and a deep understanding of nail anatomy and chemistry.

Quick Dip Acrylic

Acrylic dip powder nails have emerged as a popular choice for nail enhancements, prized for their durability, ease of application, and stunning visual effects. From sleek, natural finishes to vibrant color gradients and intricate nail art designs, acrylic dipping offers endless possibilities for creating beautiful, long-lasting nails. However, mastering the techniques of acrylic dip powder application requires a thorough understanding of product chemistry, application methods, and artistic vision.

E Filing

Electric Files, commonly called e-files. With a wide range of profiling, shaping and polishing tools your e-file has many uses including nail shortening, buffing nails, preparing natural nails ready for extensions, removing nail enhancements and infills.

Upgrading from Accredited course to Regulated qualification

Accredited courses are a fantastic opportunity for getting a taste of what different treatments can offer your business. Upgrading an accredited course to a regulated qualification can offer another layer to your business, showing that you are working at an Ofqual regulated level and have been assessed in all areas of the treatment to demonstrate both theory and practical competencies. Upgrading can take place anytime from point of booking to 3 months after your practical training (a Trade Test will be required if you upgrade later than 3 months after your training).

Those upgrading to the regulated qualification will continue their studies at home, once they have completed their practical training. This will come in the form of a Practice Diary, Case Studies and Assignments – all of which we provide all the documentation and guidance for. You will have direct access to an assessor for support whenever you need it. Once all your home study is complete, you will return to the school for your live assessments and exams.

FAQ

Where is the training conducted?
All courses are held at our Beauty Schools located in Chatham, Kent. Parking is available opposite in Union Square Pay & Display (Behind GALA Bingo).

When do we gain access to online training?
Students receive access to our online training area before attending the school. This allows them to complete the theory at their own pace, ensuring better absorption of information. It also maximises practical time, enabling tutors to demonstrate best practices and address any questions.

Diploma vs. NVQ/VRQ qualification difference?
The choice depends on your goals. For personal use or home-based businesses, a diploma by the Beauty Guild is recommended. If working in a Salon or Spa is your aim, an NVQ/VRQ qualification is usually required. Opting for NVQ/VRQ involves an additional assessment day, automatically awarding a diploma qualification.

Upgrading to VRQ/NVQ (VTCT)?
After completing the Diploma day, home study includes a Practice Diary, Case Studies, and an Assignment to demonstrate knowledge. Access to online documents and support from our NVQ Coordinator is provided. Assessments and written exams occur at the school, with home study taking 2-8 weeks.

Can a diploma be upgraded to an NVQ later?
Yes, an upgrade is possible for specific treatments. An additional fee is applicable for the upgrade, and all necessary materials for the NVQ qualification are provided. Assessment day scheduling at the school follows.

Can insurance be obtained with a Diploma certificate?
Insurance companies accept both Diploma and NVQ certificates. Our specialised insurance scheme through Salonsafe offers tailored coverage for qualified students, encompassing treatment risk as standard.

Refund policy for course cancellations?
Refunds depend on circumstances and notice given (refer to T&C). Medical notification is required for illness-related refunds. No refund is possible if online theory has been accessed/completed.

Is home study required?
Yes, home study includes online theory and practical practice after the course. Approximately 6-8 treatments are recommended for enhanced confidence. Free refreshers are offered within 6 months if additional training is needed.

Class size and model requirements?
We keep class sizes small (around 4 students) for personalised attention. Some courses may require models, and for NVQ/VRQ, students provide their own models for Assessment Days.

Attire and standards for attending courses?
Students must adhere to professional standards in attire, including a tunic or black top with trousers, covered shoes, tied-back hair, and well-kept hands/nails.

Course finish time and requirements?
Finish times vary; check the course on the website for details. Students may need to bring a pen and paper, but all materials are provided.

Accreditation and certificates?
Courses are approved and accredited by The Guild of Beauty Therapists (Diploma), VTCT (VRQ), or UKBA (UK Beauty accreditation). Certificates are issued based on meeting standards for theory and practical delivery.
