We require students to arrive at 9.30am, the day will begin with a brief introduction and welcome drinks, and handing out manuals. Moving swiftly on to theory and the step by step process of completing a set of acrylic nail extensions. We will then have a short break for lunch and will then begin our practical assessment from approximately midday. Our educator will demonstrate the application of one acrylic nail and then you will then complete a full set of nail extensions on a model. We will be on hand to help and guide you throughout the process, and would encourage you to ask if you are ever in doubt.
