This course is Qualification Scotland-approved, fully insured, and recognised worldwide by employers.

To guarantee dedicated guidance, class sizes are strictly limited to a maximum of four students, with optional one-to-one support available.

We provide all course materials; however, you may also supply and use your own kit.

  • Health & Safety: Relevant salon hygiene, sanitation, and safety protocols.

  • Anatomy & Physiology: Detailed study of the nail, hand, arm, and natural nail growth.

  • Nail Preparation: Professional prep techniques for long-lasting gel adhesion.

  • Application Techniques: Precision application across four key finishes—dark, light, French, and nail design.

  • Safe Removal & Aftercare: Gentle removal methods and tailored client aftercare advice.

I started the course shy, anxious and unskilled. Now I’m leaving with multiple skills to build a career, an abundance of confidence and a mentor I know I can reach out to in future.
