The nail care industry is booming.
And by taking this course, you'll have success 'at your fingertips'
 If you're considering becoming a nail technician, congratulations! You've chosen a great time to make that move!
Beauty treatments are no longer the luxury they once were.
Spurred on by the celebrities, women (and increasingly more men) now realise the importance of looking their best.
And we all know how much women enjoy a little pampering.
All of this has meant a huge boom in the beauty business – with nailcare leading the way.
Latest figures put the US nailcare market at over six billion
dollars and the UK is equally flourishing.
What makes nailcare especially exciting is that women are
giving up on doing their nails themselves. After all, why
spend time at home on something that can be fiddly and time-consuming
when it hardly costs the earth to get someone else to do
it for you?
Plus, of course, you get the chance of a little pampering
and a chat thrown in.
And that is great news for anyone considering a career as
a nail technician – they are in demand, and that demand
is set to go on increasing. 
So if you'd like a share of some of the £2,000
a year the average woman spends on beauty and hair, becoming
a nail technician makes perfect sense.
And it’s worth adding that more and
more men are waking up to the benefits of personal grooming.
The men’s “beauty” market,
something unheard of a few years ago, is now enjoying such
rapid success and a whopping 35 per cent growth, according
to a recent European Cosmetics report.
More men are investing
their time and money in all aspects of looking good – and
that includes their hands and feet!
ASET Level 4 Accreditation
Our course is fully accredited by ASET, and on
completing it you get an award equivalent to Level
4 of the National Learning Framework (post A level/HNC/HND
standard). ASET is a national Awarding Body recognised
by the Department for Education and Skills and by
the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in Britain.
It has been accrediting vocational learning for more
than 50 years and now works with more than 200 providers
in the UK and internationally.
By studying for our Nail Technician Diploma, you’ll
give yourself that edge. You couldn’t ask for
anything more from a distance learning course. |

in their own homes.
It is up to you. All you have to do is decide the way you
want to work, and we'ill help you achieve it.

What you need to be a good nail technician
You might think that becoming a nail technician is
simply a case of being able to paint  someone’s nails.
But there is a lot more to it than that. Successful nail technicians tend to be:
-
Sociable and enjoy working with
people – Any
beauty treatment is a social occasion, so good nail technicians
know how to help their clients relax and enjoy themselves.
-
Have good attention to detail – This helps you identify any potential problems with clients’ nails
and ensures your work is of the very highest standard.
-
Be good listeners – that way they know exactly
what their client is looking for
-
Enjoy helping other people to
look their best – A
good nail technician wants their client to feel the best
they can about themselves
-
Be creative – With nail technology advancing
every day, there is no end to the looks you can create for your clients
-
Be adaptable – Every client is different and
so are their needs. Discovering what they want and being
able to achieve it for them is all part and parcel of
being a good nail technician.
-
Be looking good themselves – After all,
they want to be an inspiration to their clients!
Everyone is different and in a creative career
such as nailcare, you will find technicians of all kinds.
But if you think you have some or all of the qualities listed
above, the chances are becoming a nail technician is the
right thing for you!
So why distance learning?
Distance learning is the ideal way to study for the skills
you need to become a nail technician.
You study at your own pace, in your own time. All the materials
you need are supplied at the beginning of your course which
means you can work through them as quickly or as slowly as
you wish.
You set your own timetable, so you don't have to
worry about scheduling your whole week around your “college” night.
Distance learning is all about you getting the most from
your studies. And that's where we come in.
Our students are always at the heart of any course we design.
So we create top quality courses, provide first-rate professional
tutors to work with you, and pride ourselves on being

Your assignments
As well as acting as a personal guide, your tutor will also be the person marking the assignments
which you will complete at the end of each module.
By completing these assignments, you have the opportunity
to show the knowledge and skills you have learned through
your study of the material in each module.
The assignments also give you and your tutor the chance
to discuss your work and go over anything you feel needs
further development or investigation.
And if the idea of assignments sounds a bit imposing,
don’t panic. In the unlikely event that you fail an assignment, you can repeat it at no extra cost - as many times as you need. And remember that many of our students are returning to study after many years away from learning. And you can get one or more 'study buddies' - other people on the course who are just like you - to share experiences with.
Remember, too, that we want our students to succeed. So there are no trick questions. Our assignments are graded so we ease you very gradually into your studies. And remember that the assignment are there to help you ensure that you have understood what to do. So when you get to the real world of clients, you'll be confident and relaxed.
And don’t forget, your tutor will be there to help you and answer your questions. Don;t hesitate to ask!
