FAQs

Is this qualification all I need to start working as a Nail Technician?

Yes. The VTCT Level 2 Certificate is the recognised industry qualification for becoming a Nail Technician. It proves you have the essential skills in manicures, pedicures, client care, and health and safety, allowing you to gain insurance and work in a salon.

What is the difference between this and the "Manicure & Pedicure" course?

This is a more comprehensive qualification. While both cover manicures and pedicures, this Level 2 Certificate is a larger course that also includes deeper modules on client communication and the foundational theory of nail enhancements, making it the complete, official "Nail Technician" qualification.

Does this course teach me how to apply acrylic or gel nail extensions?

This course focuses on mastering the core services of manicure and pedicure and includes the essential theory behind nail enhancements. However, it does not include the practical application of acrylic or gel systems. This certificate is the mandatory prerequisite you will need before you can enrol on those separate, specialised practical courses.

I have no experience at all. Is this the right course to start with?

Absolutely. This course is designed for beginners and will guide you through every aspect of becoming a nail technician from the very beginning. It's the perfect starting point if you are serious about a career in nails.

Will I be able to get insurance with this certificate?

Yes. As a fully accredited VTCT qualification, it is recognised by all major UK beauty and nail industry insurers, allowing you to get the professional liability cover you need to practice.
