Please tell me if this pedicure course would be good enough?

[Lucybluebell]

I've just finished my nvq2 we covered manicure, nail art and gel enhancements. Now I'm qualified I'm really gutted that the course didn't cover pedicure as I feel I'm going to miss out on some custom!
I've seen a pedicure course by Next Steps, it's not too far for me to travel and it lasts 3 hrs, it's only open to people who are trained in manicures AND it's only £95 which isn't too bad.
Please could someone tell me if this is a qualification worth having and if not could anyone give me an idea of a better alternative?!
Many thanks

I would shop around and research other courses.
Personally 3 hours seems a bit rushed! I wouldn't want just 3 hours training on anything. Theory demo and practical is a lot to fit in.
See what else is out there before you decide. Cheaper shorter courses are not always better, I know from experience!

Forgot to say! Why not do a search on here and see if there are any recommendations. I did mine as part of my original course. Have you looked at your local college?

In my opinion, I wouldn't want to learn a new treatment in 3 hours. I think that 3 hours would barely be enough time to cover the basics so it would probably be very hard to be confident with something that you'd learnt in 3 hours.

With the new college term just around the corner, I would be tempted to say do a pedicure course that lasts a few weeks so you can really get to grips with it and then perhaps after that do training with a specific product brand. In relation to this, its worth noting that a recognised qualification (vrq/city an guilds etc etc etc) in pedicure could open more doors for you in terms of employment and/or product training opportunities (for example, to train in jessica you need a minimum of nvq2)
