Also I would have liked to have the information on cuticle care and bits before the assignment with product removal on a live person or yourself. Since I was trying to have a nice application of product before removal it would have helped to know how to have a clean surface before hand. Also there were a few lessons I wish went more in depth or there were comments about topics being discussed further but I don't recall them being addressed (I may have missed it). An example of something in my case was in the beginning lessons for left-handed cuticle bits and working in reverse/forward, there was no further info on how a person can navigate the using the e-file while being a lefty. My issues were also about finding lefty bits with a variation of shapes. They are usually 2 way bits with one shape available which is very frustrating but not your fault, more so that falls on manufacturers not thinking of left handed people. But I am sure I will find my way around using the e-file as a lefty. Most of my concerns were written above. I would not remove any information as all that was shared was extremely helpful. Absolutely! It is so hard to express all I learned when I have little knowledge and have no prior experience. Some that stood out were the breakdown of how the bits work and why reverse and forward mode are so important. I love the illustrations when you showed the "teeth" of the bits. It made it more clear. Of course, the grit colors were so enlightening. I also love the illustration of how the bits should move like a clock and the tip you gave about applying a wet coat when you talked about in-fills and how you related it to putting oil on a pan (now I will always remember that analogy). All in all it was so informative and I will be able to go back, watch, and re-watch, and practice. I love that I can go at my own pace but still have someone giving feedback. Which by the way, so far has been Elinda and she is so gracious and kind with her feedback, but you can tell she definitely is seasoned because she spots all the stuff that usually goes wrong. Thank you so far. I think the above info is sufficient for now. I am loving the courses so far. @Zii.emm (instagram) not active currently but will be soon.

Hello Linda!
You can practice on your and other people’s nails. There will also be lessons where you will practice product removal on tips.
As for duration of the course, you will have 4 months to pass it but usually this time is even more than enough to do all tasks.
