E-File Course

E-File Course

The E-File Course is for trained nail technicians who want to use an electric nail file safely and correctly.

You will learn how to prepare nails, remove product, blend nail enhancements and care for your tools. You will also learn how to choose the right drill bit, speed and pressure.

An electric file can make some nail treatments faster. It can also help you work with more control. Safe use is important because poor technique can damage the natural nail.

Before the practical class, you will receive an online training manual. You should complete the theory before you attend the academy. This gives you more time for tutor demonstrations and hands-on practice during the class.

After you pass the course, you will receive an accredited E-File Diploma. The course is also insurable. You can then add e-file techniques to your nail services, as long as you hold the required nail qualification and suitable insurance.

You can also book this course as an add-on to our Complete Nail Technician Course.
