Complete Gel Course

Yes, this course is accredited by ABT (Association of Beauty Therapies) and you will be able to gain professional insurance through ABT insurance upon completion.

We require you to bring a model to work on with no old product on their nails. We recommend avoiding nail biters as this can complicate your learning if your model has severely bitten nails.

If possible, bring along your e-file and the e-file bits you own, as you can learn on your machine. This isn’t essential but is strongly preferred.

This is a two-and-a-half-day course, two days back to back, 10 am to 4 pm, followed by a half-day approx two weeks later. Once the course is purchased, you will receive a digital copy of the manual and a theory test. Please complete the text and email it back to mark before your course start date. You will be taken through theory work, including anatomy and physiology of the nail and hand, nail diseases and disorders, health and safety and legislation.

The practical work includes complete nail preparation, gel polish application and removal, builder gel application, apex, French polish application, builder gel extensions, and safe removal.

You will be required to return with your model approx. Two weeks later, complete your half-day e-file training on their grown-out nails from the previous training. You will be shown nail and cuticle prep using an e-file, debulking and full product removal.

You get the most out of your learning experience if we keep our teaching groups small. We will have no more than two learners on each course as this allows a relaxed and interactive learning environment so you get the most out of your course.
