Gel Nail Extensions Course

Gel Nail Extensions Course

The Gel Nail Extensions Course is for trained nail professionals who want to offer gel nail extensions.

Gel extensions are a popular salon treatment. They can add length and shape while giving the nails a smooth and natural-looking finish.

During the course, you will learn how to prepare the natural nail, apply nail tips, blend the tips and apply gel correctly. You will also learn how to remove the product safely.

You will receive an online training manual before the practical class. Complete the theory before attending the academy. This allows more time for tutor demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Your tutor will guide you through each stage of the treatment. You will learn how to use nail tools and products safely. You will also learn how to identify conditions that may prevent treatment.

After you pass the course, you will receive a Gel Nail Extensions Diploma. The course is accredited and insurable, subject to holding the required qualification and arranging suitable professional insurance.

The Gel Nail Extensions Course is also included within our Complete Nail Technician Course. This option is suitable for beginners who want to learn a wider range of nail treatments.
