FAQs

Is this qualification enough for me to get insured to work as a Nail Technician?

Yes. This VTCT Level 2 Certificate is a fully accredited qualification recognised by all major UK insurers. It allows you to offer professional manicure and pedicure services to the public.

Does this course teach me how to do Gel Polish or Acrylic Nail Extensions?

This course is the essential foundation and focuses on mastering treatments for the natural nail (manicures and pedicures). While it includes an introduction to basic nail art, it does not cover gel polish or artificial nail systems. This Level 2 Certificate is, however, the prerequisite you need before you can enrol on those advanced courses.

I'm a total beginner. Is this the right nail course for me?

Absolutely. This course is specifically designed for beginners and assumes no prior professional experience. We start with the fundamentals of health and safety and guide you step-by-step to becoming a confident and skilled technician.

Do I need to buy a full kit to do the course?

We will provide all the professional products and equipment you need to use during your in-person practical training sessions. We will also provide a recommended kit list of high-quality, affordable items for you to purchase for your own practice at home.

Will I need to bring my own models for the practical assessments?

Yes, for your practical training and assessments, you will be required to bring a model to work on. This is a crucial part of the learning process, as it allows you to gain experience working on real hands and feet, which is invaluable for building your confidence.

What kind of support will I receive during my studies?

You'll receive comprehensive support from our team. Our online portal is packed with resources you can access anytime, and our expert tutors are on hand during practical sessions to give you personal, hands-on guidance and feedback to help you perfect your technique.
