Hiya. I trained with Home Learn UK, It gave me a brilliant education regarding the theory side of things i.e health and safety laws, nail anatomy, contra indications etc but the practical side of things i struggled with. Its ok to sit there and practice what you have interpreted to be the correct method of applying a tip or applying acrylic but i felt that because i was left to my own devices i picked up bad habits, and made things hard work for myself as there was no one there to correct my mistakes. I have since done a few hours 1-2-1 training and this has helped me iron out the creases and has really boosted my confidence. In my opinion i am glad i did this course as i feel i got a great insight to the nail industry but i have had a few comments from other nail techs like 'how can you say your qualified when you haven't been to college' or 'you cant possibly know what your talking about as you hardly have to study with these home courses'
My opinion is No i don't know everything about nails, i probably never will, i will keep learning and i don't ever think anyone can be 'fully qualified'
Hope that helps
