Manicure Masterclass

Become a Confident, Qualified Manicure Technician

The manicure gives you a whole range of options to suit nearly every client, from a classic polish finish to indulgent spa-style extras. Our Accredited Manicure Course is fully accredited and covers everything you need to deliver a professional manicure from start to finish — including French polish, male manicure and luxury add-ons like paraffin wax and hot mitts.

Whether you choose to study from home or attend our training centre, you’ll receive professional training that prepares you for real client work from day one.

Flexible Study Options

We understand that many students have work, family and other commitments. That’s why we offer flexible ways to train:

Online Learning with Live Zoom Practical Sessions

Study your theory modules online at your own pace, from anywhere in the UK. Once ready, complete your practical training and assessment live via Zoom with one of our experienced tutors.

In-Person Training Centre Attendance

Attend practical training sessions at our Tamworth training centre for hands-on guidance and support throughout your learning journey.

In-Salon Training

We can also deliver your practical training in salon, so you can learn in a real working environment.

Both options lead to the same accredited qualification. The course consists of 6 hours of theory study plus 1 day of practical assessment.

Why This Masterclass is a Smart Investment

Manicures are a cornerstone nail service, with clients regularly rebooking for maintenance, French polish touch-ups and seasonal add-ons like paraffin wax.

By qualifying in professional manicure, you gain a versatile, high-repeat service that works alongside your other nail treatments and is a foundational qualification for progressing into acrylic, gel and gel polish courses.

This masterclass is designed not only to qualify you, but to give you a genuine return on your investment through a service that clients book again and again.

Practical Training & Assessment

To ensure you graduate with confidence and competence, you will complete a practical assessment covering the techniques learned throughout the course, guided by live tutor feedback.

Students will be required to provide a model for the practical assessment. A kit is not necessary if you attend practical assessment days in person or in salon, but if you are training entirely online you will need your own kit — kits can be purchased separately in our shop.

Upon successful completion, you will receive your certificate of completion.

All accreditation fees are included.
