i did the vtct course at college then did a day of one to one with young nails and learnt more in the one day so i would say yes

I met the guy's from young nails at a beauty show a few years backand found them to be, enthusiastic, friendly, very well informed and I loved some of their products.
I think £600 is reasonable, but:lol: I tried their try me pack and didn't get on with it, maybe if I'd trained with them that would be different but I trained with CND the course is more expensive then young nails but I've never regreted a single penny. It's the same sort of course structure with all of the good companies but the course content is obviously going to vary from company to company because they have different product ranges.
Sorry, I'm trying to be fair here and that's hard when you know you are biased, which I am :lol:

Hi I did the foundation course with YN, and I found it to be a really good course, the teach the reverse application method, it takes a bit to get used to but great once the penny drops. I used friends and family to practice on during the course and for about 1 month afterwards, then I started to chanrge for materials, I found that they were starting to ask, can I get my nails done, and you can practice, so if they wanted to get them done I though they must be to a standard totake a litle something towards the cost of materials, another few months after that I started to advertise, it is a slow process, and about 8 months later I am about to staer renting a few little rooms ( cupboards really lol ) in a hair salon. I do waxing and things as well. I am still constantly learning, and think in 10 years time I will still be learning lol. hope you enjoy it as much as I did x

Yes it is, so is the CND course and the Ezflow and NSI and lots more. You need to do a bit of research first and see what you want to do. One of the things to look at is what type of nails you want to achieve by looking at the photos on each of the nail companies sites. They generally represent what the company stands for, some are more inclined to the arty type nail and some companies towards the traditional perfect pink and white or natural look. Most of the companies give good training but I would steer clear of the short courses, stick with a course run by the manufacturer or their distributor.

Have a look at the Search feature on the top bar and search this question, you will find a lot of information, then look at the companies websites and see what you fancy! Good luck!!!
