hi all can you tell me if this would be ideal?
paying 600 pound for a course which will include
tips acrylic overlay
gel
maintenance
art
manicure and pedicure

and can go with guild insurance
:rolleyes:
 
Hi, I would say it would depend on the product you would be training in as this can make a big difference. If it is a good company/product then this is reasonable and also how long is the course?

It does all depend on the product you are using......but my original course cost me more than that and only covered one system. I do not think my brain could have taken in any more infomation as i would have got soooo confused as gel and L+p are soo different. I have just done my gel course.... nearly 2 years after my original foundation as its only now that i feel confident enough and that i have got to grips with l+p.
Plus i know my course adequately covered health and safety.
what is the legth of the course??

Which company is it and which brand of products will you be using?
 
Exactly, what brand is it?

Also, I was wondering if the maintenance part was about rebalances?
Because 4 days is nowhere near to the actual situation where the client´s nails have not been touched for 3-5 weeks! :eek:

I myself had the basic training done in 4 days, and I must say, we had to do the rebalance on the teachers´ nails we had only done 4 days before! That is no actual rebalance, just... well, truth to be told, faking it.
Proper basic courses ALWAYS take around a month - maybe a couple of days of actual education and enhancements, but then at least a 2-4 week break until the rebalance. That way it is an actual rebalance plus it is possible to go for some trouble shooting and problem areas.

My humble opinion. :green:

I cant see it being only 2 people - the website says 6.

Ask yourself this question:-

In an ideal world which product would I love to be using as a nail technician and if the answer is anything then go for this course, however if your answer is Creative, EZ Flow, NSI, etc. etc than I would look at doing training with that company.

There are so many people who start off trying to be jack of all trades thinking they can learn everything in 3 days and end up being disappointed.

I would suggest you find a kick ass foundation course in one system - gel or liquid and powder and start off as you mean to go on - being the best!

If it were me going for that particular course then I would want (and need) to know which brand of products they supply before committing to anything.

IMO, you will get a higher level of education going with one of the high-end branded companies and know that you're going to receive top notch training for not much more money.
 
Hi, I agree with Sandi and Fiona. You need to find out what products you will be trained with, research all the different companies on the internet and then decide what will be best for you. IMO, I could never learn that much in 4 days. Ive done 2 years of training at college - 2 different courses (each course is 38 weeks long) and I just about learnt everything! Its not as simple as some people think...like learning the procedures. Its everything else that goes with it....including theory. Personally I like hands on with the tutor, time to learn everything...especially infilling and rebalancing, which like already said, takes weeks to learn properly. Also, you need to find out exactly how much help you will get once you finish. All the good companies offer so much support after you finish. Hth a bit :)
