A level 2 VRQ in nails is usually a year long course so I’m not really surprised they won’t recognise a 2 day Nail course.
Did your trainer not recommend a linked insurance provider as usually, the short course companies purchase accreditation from a specific insurer who agrees to provide insurance cover to students who have successfully completed the course.
If your training doesn’t offer this then maybe you need to think about re-training with a leading brand such as OPI, CND, Young Nails etc. or complete a nationally recognised qualification via the college route.

Their website says that
"At the end of the training, you’ll be fully qualified as a Certified SNS Nail Artist (Level 1) " as far as I can see.
To work on paying clients you should have level 2 or above I thought.
on the website it says to bring your nail technician tools with you to the classes which makes it sound as if you should already hold a nail qualification before attending this training?
Sounds like this is product training rather than fundamental skills.
I may be wrong though.
Your best route would be to now complete a recognised level 2 or 3 in nails / beauty.

I am NVQ level 3 qualified and have been working in the industry for 12 years. I am trained and insured in other systems such as Gelish etc and didn’t think this would be a issue to be covered as it’s a classroom environment course with a certificate at the end and it’s a large company. I know other therapists on my course with other insurers are having the same problem. Not a great start to a new system!
