Our dedicated training academy provides students with a calming and professional learning environment, so that they can learn and practice their new skills.

Fully Accredited

Our courses are fully accredited and insurance approved. On completing our course and passing the assessment, you will be a fully qualified nail technician in your chosen course.

Ideal for beginners

Our courses are ideal for beginners with no previous experience. We offer a training course that fully encompasses all the elements you need to learn and understand the process of applying either acrylic nail extensions and gel polish application.

100% Pass Rate

We are very proud to highlight that to date, we have had a 100% pass rate from our students. We put this down to both offering a high quality course, in an easy to understand and follow process, as well as offering students on-going feedback and pointers.

We also have our original 1 day advanced courses, you can select to learn individual courses (gel polish & acrylic nail extensions) or our most popular option, combing both. We also have an e-file qualification (£95 if purchased with course) which you can add-on.

  • When will my assessment be?
    Your assessment will be on the same day. Students arrive and the first part is theory, after that, we concentrate on the practical side, developing your skills step-by-step until you are fully competent and meet the standard. After this, we'll assess your ability and on meeting the criteria, we will then qualify you - to date we've had a 100% pass rate.
  • Will I receive a qualification?
    On passing the course, you will receive a LBTA training certificate, fully accredited.
  • Is there a dress-code?
    Not at all, we just advise that you wear something that makes you feel comfortable.
  • Do I need a model?
    Pre-covid, this was the case and sometimes we used to supply the models too - we prefer for students to learn on real hands.
    However, due to new restrictions from the pandemic, classes are strictly student only and because of this, students work on each other taking turns to practice. We actually find this to have some extra benefits.
