Hello everyone,
I am in my thirties and have decided to retrain in something I love, nails! My aim will be to train, refine my skills on my friends/family/colleagues and then become self employed once I am able to produce a good standard of work, eventually progressing onto nail art at some point.
I would like to be able to offer gel polish and lovely hand and nail treatments.
I can see my local college has a part time course (although doesn't show the next dates I assume there will be one for sept 2016) it is a level 2 award in manicure, but does not include the health and safety qualification which they say you have to do alongside.
However, after reading the forum I can see that some of the product companies offer their own courses which seem to be quite similar, and often include a starter kit (handy!), and unlike the college course which is 6 weeks they are more of an intensive burst.
I wondered if anyone either had a recommendation for one of the product companies courses, or if people generally think its better to just go to the local college? (I would not want to do any purely online courses).
There probably isn't a right or wrong answer here, but as all you guys understand when spending such money you want to get it right
Thanks for your help
