nail technician level 3

[user 17597]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this so please excuse any mistakes and if i sound a bit dumb.

I am studying to become a nail technician. I payed quite a bit for the course. Nearly £400.00 without products.

But i am unsure of what my qualification actually means and will i need to do further courses as soon as i complete this one.

My qualification will be : Nail Technician Level 3 diploma.

Can anyone advise please. Thanx.

Who/where are you carrying out this course with?
Is it a Itec/nvq/VTCT or is it a private course?

infomation like this would help geeks in answering your question.

The course is from UK-Open-Learning.

It says the qualification i will recieve is : Nail Technician - Aset Level 3 Diploma.

Thats basically all it says.

I am half way through having just completed the Anatomy and Physiology section.

Don't know if thats any help. Thanx.

I have just had quick look on their site and it does say that the qualification is nationally recognized If this is the case then you should be fine

Thanx Lellipop, Obviously i know i will be doing a lot of student nails and extra courses but i just wanted to make sure, Because i think i have read on here before about a course like mine and it turned out it was no good.

Thanx again, I guess theres no more excuses i will have to knuckle down and complete course. :wink2:

you could try ringing a couple of beauty/nails insurance companies to check

I did vtct level 2 and 3, I think this may equate to the same. You should be fine getting insurance, I did a couple of extra conversions after my courses. Its entirely up to you whether you do conversion courses after. Its a matter of finding a product you enjoy working with both to the satisfaction to you and your client.

Best wishes with the rest of your course. xx

I have just looked at the course on open learning website, but can you tell me what products do you train with if they dont provide a kit?

First of all thanx for all your replies.

Secondly, I have been using salon system for gel and nsi for acrylic . I haven't started wraps etc yet. What products would be best. My tutor uses nsi.

Hi there, I studied for level 3 diploma in beauty therapy for applying artifcial nail structures (it's a city and guilds certificate) .... you do written and the practical assignment, a portfolio of work too. Its very thorough. Mine (guessing your's is same) was over 16 weeks. All three systems including rebalancing. I had already done the manicure C&G just before but that covered skin structure and anatomy too. We used NSI and salon systems too. I think this is because they are very economical and very easy to purchase as a student. After I completed my course I went on to 2 conversion so I could use their products too. It is a recognisable certificate - It is a City and Guilds.


Good luck with it too x
