I picked Creative, though technically my training is at the local college.

Only difference is that my teacher has just completed her creative training and will probably teach for creative next year when her contract is up with the college.

So I was taught with creative products, by a creative educator at my local college, which is great.

When I have finished this training I intend to do more classes with creative.

This is my 1st go on this site! How exciting! I am so pleased this thread is on here. I have been thinking about re-training with creatives so its great to read all thoughts. I trained at college, then star nails, then LCN which I find better. But loving the products/ smells of spa mani and pedi I have sampled and colours of creative varnishes. So looks like I will be training very soon with creatives!!!

Hi

I ticked other as I trained (l&p and gel) with a college of ill repute! Realised I learnt nothing - went to college to do VTCT mani/pedi, bought a nail trainer and Enycyclopedia of Nails, practised like mad - went to Creative for conversion course. Learnt more in that one day than I had learnt previously - thank you Marion Manley! Then went on to do Freehand Nail Art and skill building at a local academy.

Still want to do loads more - when funds allow!

I took my foundation course with CND and I still use Brisa, even though Creative Academy doesn't work properly in my country.
My L&P is Entity, love the product, love the education, love the support!
