Nail course funding help.

[xKatx]

I'm new to this site so I apologise if I'm doing this wrong but I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I want to train as a nail tech and don't really know how to go about it. I can't afford to pay for the course so I tried to find one through my local college. The only course they offer is the VTCT Nail Tech part time course and it doesn't start until september and lasts 32 weeks. Does anyone know of any shorter courses in the tyne and wear area that there is funding available for and that would give me the qualifications I need to get insurance. Thank you and any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi , welcome to salon geek.:hug:

I had a text message from NSI today saying that they accept ILA funding for all their courses now.

I'm not really sure if they do it in your area, or how/if you would qualify, but it might be worth looking into.

I checked their website and sadly they don't do it in my area but thank you very much for the welcome and the advice!

Hi and welcome to the site :hug:
My advice, from personal experiance, would not to bother with the vtct course.
Yes, it's a good way of finding out if your really interseted in the industry but to be honest I didn't learn enough from it and have spent a lot of money since then on courses learning a lot a basic stuff I feel should have been tought an the course.
If you feel this is your only option contact your collage and make an appointment to see them in student/financial services there's quite often financial help to be had depending on your circumstances.
If you can afford too, your much beter off waiting till you can afford one of the private courses...but do your homewaork first to make sure you've found the right one.
Good luck on your choice
