Nail Course Gold Coast Australia (I want to become a nail tech!)

[Raze]

Hi All!

I'd like to become a nail tech - can anyone point me in the right direction?

I live on the Gold Coast (Australia) and would like to do a nail course after work, or a 2 week course I can do in my holidays as I need to keep working to pay for the course (as well as for living!)
Thank you!

Do you have any certificates or qualifications in anything else?

I hate to say it but a proper course goes longer than 2 weeks.
There are a few colleges in Brisbane.
You could check out Professional Beauty College of Australia that might give you some idea of what's involved.

Most places will offer part time study or night classes. Do the ring around and start getting information packs.

Try contacting your local Tafe - my local tafe (Sunshine Coast) does night classes 2 nights a week which runs for about 16 weeks.

I didn't think CND did a beginners course.

 

[leita]

yes i teach a beginners course in Perth at Australian Nail Academy with CND

 

[nailzoo]

In AUS, almost anyone can teach with any product and buy product from anywhere ..... it's quite a sorry state of affairs. Look for somewhere that is VITECH approved, contact APFA - The Australian Association for Professional Nail Practitioners for respected schools.

But is it a CND certificate?

I shouldnt think so ..

Good luck with your training and let us know what you decide and how you get on!!

I agree Carl. we are APFA approved and the Certificate is most definatley CND for Beginners. We are privately owned by Pacific Nail & Beauty in QLD but are the sole distributors for WA and have a CND Training school for the past 20 years here in Perth.
I too wish you luck with your course.
