Enrol

Gel nail art and design is the latest trend in the world of nail art and nail enhancements. In principle gel art and design is an achievable procedure. Any design once placed onto an uncured gel colour coating will be able to be dragged using a gel art striper brush into the most intricate of patterns.

Gel polishes and designs will give a bright and lustrous finish to any nail surface. Your client will be able to leave immediately after the service and with gel polishes, there is more waiting for polish to dry! Altogether this makes gel art and design an essential skill for any practicing or aspiring nail technician.

This Professional Gel Art and Design programme is an in-depth step by step course that is designed to teach the student how to carry out gel art and design procedures. Throughout the course detailed examples and diagrams are provided showing the student how to create a range of beautiful gel designs. Some examples include:

 

So whether you’re a processional nail technician or a novice, you can be sure that our Professional Gel Art and Design course will be the perfect course to teach you how to perform professional gel nail art and design.

Job Interview Skills

Getting the job you want is not about following rules or giving the 'right' interview answer. It is about presenting yourself in the most authentic way that takes care of you and the interviewers at the same time. So many people throw their chances away: they do not take enough care and interview preparation time so that the whole process is enjoyable, stimulating and informative for both parties. This section aims to show you how.

The Effective Learner Course

This section will consider the importance of study skills and how we can identify and enhance our current skill set. We will then take a closer look at different learning styles and how knowledge of our own preferences in this area can make our learning more effective. Finally we will look at some basic time management techniques to enable you to plan and organise your studies and stay motivated.
