Personally i think that all systems are difficult when you first start out. Looking back, i am glad i started with fibre glass as i dont think i could have coped with learning to prep, apply tips, filing and product controll! Not saying that fibre glass is easy but it is less easier to end up with product all up your side walls, all over your fingers and so on.Once i had mastered my prep, blending, tip applying and filing, i then decided to try a different system.

Go here and learn the differences between the different systems. This article is not brand related but generic but will offer a guide to understanding the pros and cons for each system.

HI,
Oh I think you will end up being told all the systems are the best to start with...the gel girls will say gel, and the fibreglass/fabric girls will say do that.....and guess what.... I love L&P so I would recommend that.....!!
Actually though I would recommend L&P for the same reasons Whitmore gave except I think the opposite.!!!..L&P can be the most difficult to master technique wise therefore I think you should learn it first and everything thereafter you can learn in 1 day conversion courses.....but take the longer course to learn your L&P.........
HOWEVER...it does all depend on the training you are given....so if I were you I would check with the college you are going to train at and find out what the Instructor/Educator's preferred system is because if your Instructor is an expert in gel but can do fibreglass ok....then you would be best to let her teach you gel!!....does this make sense?

Do a search on here as well to give you all the information about all the systems..........this may help you make your final decision...good luck.

I think the poster is asking about which system not which BRAND ... as she is doing a VCTC course and will presumably learn with whatever the college uses.
