How our online education works?

  • You study remotely. The lessons are available whenever it is convenient for you.
  • You immediately gain access to several lessons and can view them any number of times any time you wish.
  • Some lessons contain practical assignments that you need to fulfill.
  • Next lessons will only become available after the previos lesson’s assignments are completed.
  • You chose your own time to complete the tasks.
  • Make photos of your results and upload them to your account.
  • I evaluate the results, make comments and point out mistakes (if any), accept the assignment or ask you to try again.
  • You are constantly in touch with me. I always answer all the questions from all the students.
  • Take your time completing the tasks, do not hurry.
  • Spend as much time as you need on the assignments. We will prolong your access to the course for 1 or 2 weeks if required.
  • At the end of the course, when all your tasks are completed, you will be given access to the Test Lesson – the final evaluation of the knowledge gained during the course. After the Test is passed successfully you will get the numbered Certificate, written in your name.
  • All during the course the tasks submitted by each student are seen to the rest of the group. You can follow the teacher pointing out and correcting mistakes of your fellow students. This prevents you from making the same mistakes and gives a great opportunity to improve YOUR OWN work.

    It wasn't difficult. Very useful. Especially the placing of the dual form on the nail that I couldn't figure out before I took these courses. read more

    Yes, a little bit. Seem to be regular acrylic is easier than this technique, especially under nails application. I also think that would be easier if using tip to avoid filling under nails. I think learning every new techniques is great. That's how we can up to date our nails career education. read more

    It was difficult just because I did not have the right dual forms, my dual forms can only be used with clear polygel, and I can’t take new one in time for the end of this training read more

    Yes not to have bubbles. And doing it in bitten nails. Learning a new method of modeling nails. If we get a good hold of the dual forms, it could be easy to work with even if we try using it with acrylic. read more

    Do you need to be a licensed nail tech in order to take these lessons? I have been doing my own nails for about 20 years. These dual forms seem fantastic!

    Unfortunately, most cosmetology schools only teach you basics and to pass the state exam but not enough for most nail techs to be able to do the job. We can definitely teach you the SKILLS to be a professional nail technician.
