i have done a at home gel course where the instructor comes over and teaches at your house but i have discovered that its only to do yourself and family and friends i have a certificate that says i have completed their gel course it was through neways and its not enough i only learnt the basics of gel and i would like to learn the other aspects of the nail industry like the acrylic and manicure pedicure nail art and all the other aspects of the business that i wasn't taught

Newways is a consumer product and not a professional product.

You really need to research more thoroughly and get professional training ... another home learn course will give you a taster but not train you to work in the industry. For that I think you must know that you need a training provider with a proven reputation.

You will not get what you want from home learn and will just keep spending until you do what you should have done in the first place which is to find a reputable school and train with a hands on trainer.

I've had time to have a pretty good look around the site now, and nowhere does it say that the courses are accredited or that she is an RTO, and I think everywhere that is displays the logo.
The most common entry course is Nail Tehnology Certificate II, it can be done through TAFE or private colleges ( but make sure they are a Registered Training Organisation).
