    Other kits that claim to be Nail Technician Start Kits should be approached with caution, as they are often nothing more than simple Nail Art Kits - such simple kits are NOT the same as our Professional Acrylic Starter Kit (that comes free with this course), which will actually allow you to begin work as a Professional Nail Technician.

    You will need to know the necessary procedures to carry out a manicure or pedicure for the client and you may even want to use basic massage techniques to relax the client�s hands and feet.

    The Nail Technician Diploma Course covers all of these areas in detail. It ensures that you will be fully prepared to either set up your own business as a Nail Technician or be sufficiently qualified to work as a Nail Technician.

    Included in the Nail Technician Professional Diploma Course is all you need to know about manicure and pedicure, and thus you will not be required to study for a separate manicure and pedicure qualification in order to become qualified through Stonebridge Associated Colleges.

It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.

    Assessment Method

    After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
