Creative CERTIFICATE III Any Advise?

[a.denning]

Hi everyone, I am starting a new course with creative, and it goes for 350 hours at The Australian College of Beauty Therapy, i will be learning acrylic and gel but mainly acrylic, i currently use IBD Flex acrylic. Can anyone please tell me if Creative is going to be about the same as IBD or am i getting in over my head? I am really excited because most geeks on here rave about creative, and finally i get to have some training with them my self! Also it is going to cost me AU$4400.00 is this a good price? It includes all of my books plus my Creative kit.
Sorry for rambling on Im just very excited

Do you have a website for the college?

One thing to chek on is if you are actually getting Creative training if that's what you're after. Lots of colleges/TAFEs in Australia use Creative but the teachers aren't CND education Ambassadors, so you aren't really getting Creative training.

I don't know what IBD L&P is like, but even if it is very different I'm sure you are not getting in over your head.

What books and kit are you getting?

hmm.. cert III sounds like a college/tafe programme not a CND course.. BUT I COULD BE WRONG>>(usually am)

if you already have a cert 11 in nail technology you could do a conversion which is a 121 usually over 2 days which is an intensive programe based on Creative products and taught by Creative ambassadors this could be a cheaper and better option..
Like BN said check it out first or you could be taught the same stuff you already know..

I initially did a cert II then converted through an academy..
what system are you going to be using? I use IBD gel so im not sure about their L&P system.. but since converting to Retention+ i have never looked back.. GOOD LUCK! :green:

Welcome to the Australian National College of Beauty

Is this the place.. If so then you are probably wasting money on stuff you should already know from previous training..

If you are really interesting in CND and becoming qualified with them, contact Creative Nail Design & Beauty Products - Pacific Nail & Beauty Australia and they will point you in the right direction ..... anyone can buy and use CND in Australia.
But if you want "real" and "recognised" qualifications talk to the source.
