I am interested to find out if anybody trained at the Carlton Institute on the High Street in Brentwood? I signed up and paid a LOT of money to do my NVQ3 Nail course but after reading a few comments on here recently It really doesnt sound like I got what i paid for and its worrying me. We only did one weeks training in the classroom 0900- 1700. We did manicures mon, pedicures tues, L&P weds, Gels on thur and Fibreglass on the fri and that was it. Was sent home with lots of paperwork and books and told to do 12 sets of each system taking photos as we go. Once the portfolio is complete, I believe I then have to do practical assessments to become certified. I dont feel like Iv had any hands on training with a tutor at all, just been having to learn by myself as I go along. Is this right?
