About The Course

Want to get started in the beauty industry? Or do you want to add a new treatment to your services? Our Gel Polish Course is designed for complete beginners and includes in-depth health & safety and anatomy & physiology knowledge, product knowledge, gel polish & french application, perfect natural nail prep, safe removal techniques, nail art and aftercare advice. 

Once enrolled on your course, you'll have instant access to the online modules, which include a fully comprehensive manual, step-by-step videos, and mini quizes to test your knowledge. You can work through the modules at your own pace from the comfort of your own home. If booking in-person training you'll be invited to the academy for the day to work on your practical skills, overseen by one of our expert tutors. You'll need to bring a model along to work on. After this, you'll need to submit three case studies to be assessed.

Upon graduating from this course, you will be able to gain insurance with our accredited course and offer gel polish treatments to your clients. 

 

Any kits ordered for the practical training will be waiting for you on arrival at the academy.

 

Online training kits will be posted out to you. Kits can be purchased from the "SHOP" section of this site.
