Silk Nail Courses

Silk Nail Courses Overview

The course structure offers both distance learning and practical training combined. Working at your own pace, our unique online student portal, which is accessible as soon as you purchase your course, provides a full demonstration video, course manual and student support systems allowing you to start learning straight away! You then attend the practical training day to further enforce what your have already learnt and spend time with your tutor who will guide you before attending a review day typically 4 – 8 weeks after the practical training day to gain your qualification.

We believe in continually supporting our students before, during and after each course. We have invested heavily in a unique infrastructure which allows us to support students (through email and Facebook) long after they have completed our courses and are pleased to be the Next Step in our student careers.

During the practical training day you will work with the college training stock, equipment and products so no kit is required to attend however we do recommend you purchase a starter kit from us for home study. You can purchase a kit at anytime either online or by contacting us.

All students work on one another during the practical training day as we believe it is important to not only carry out the treatment but also to experience the treatment yourself, so we ask all students to attend with no nail extensions on or nail polish.

A detailed course manual will also be provided which is yours to take away and make notes on during the course, if theory and written work is not your strong point then do not panic as this manual will provide you with everything you need to know. We are there to support you during your training so if additional support is needed please let us know.

On completion of the course you will be able to begin working in the industry straight away either setting up your own business or working for someone else.

The course gives you a recognised qualification so you are able to work as a professional technician within the industry, gaining your public liability insurance and working on the paying public.
