Choose how you want to study
An online course is paid in full at checkout. On a practical or blended route your First Course Payment is the online course price for that same course, because your complete online theory is released straight away: it is credited in full towards your route price, and the balance is payable before your practical days. Where a route has no equivalent online course, we confirm the amount due with you in writing before any payment is taken. Your course theory is issued to you once your enrolment is confirmed. Kits are always optional and charged separately.

Duration
How long it takes
The beginner route is 1 full academy day and assumes no previous training in this treatment.
If you already hold recognised manicure and/or pedicure qualification, you may be eligible for a shorter half-day route once we've reviewed your certificates.
A reduced duration requires a recognised prior qualification. Experience or confidence alone doesn't qualify for the shorter price, and we check certificates and unit content before quoting or booking.

Ways to study
Choose how you learn
Optional half-day upskill for eligible qualified learners; full-day route otherwise.
Fully online
Buy the online route and work through the theory, video and visual materials at your own pace. No academy day is included automatically.
Blended
Online theory first, then in-house practical attendance in the Midleton studio to develop and be assessed on technique.
Private 1:1
The whole route delivered one-to-one on mutually available dates — the most flexible option.
Scheduled group
Join an available group date, subject to capacity, prerequisites and model requirements.
If you start online and upgrade
Convert to 1:1. You can convert an online course to the private in-house route on mutually available dates, paying the balance between the in-house price and the online price.
Convert to a group date. You can join an available scheduled group route and pay the balance between the group price and the online price — subject to dates, capacity, prerequisites and model requirements.
Your online payment is protected. What you paid online is credited against your chosen upgrade. Upgrade balance = academy route price less the online price already paid.
Reduced duration needs a qualification. A shorter route requires a recognised prior qualification. Experience or confidence alone doesn't qualify for the shorter price, and certificates are checked before we quote.
Your progression
Online core → practical upgrade → optional VTCT
VTCT is an optional progression route for suitable learners. It is not automatically included with an AuraLuxe online or blended course — your AuraLuxe certificate stands on its own, and a VTCT qualification is a separate, regulated route you can choose to add.
Step 1
Online core
Theory, video demonstrations and written work completed at your own pace, with tutor feedback. Your AuraLuxe online payment is credited in full against an eligible practical upgrade.
Step 2
Academy / blended practical
Practical days in the Midleton studio to develop and be assessed on technique, leading to your AuraLuxe certificate with ABT accreditation where it applies.
Step 3
VTCT qualification upgrade
Optional, for suitable learners. A regulated route added on top of your existing learning — reviewed, priced and confirmed in writing before any registration.
Step 3 is optional and is not available on every course. Where it applies, we confirm the exact qualification, requirements and fee first.
You keep the AuraLuxe learning and progress you have already paid for. Upgrading does not mean restarting the whole course — we map what you have already completed and only add what the qualification requires on top.
VTCT upgrade fees vary according to the qualification, registration, assessment and quality-assurance requirements. Request an upgrade and AuraLuxe will confirm your exact route and fee before registration.
From about €300 to €900 — estimate only, not a quote.
Thinking about a regulated VTCT qualification on top of this course? Ask us to review your route — it's a request, not a registration.

Good to know
ABT-accredited courses carry an AuraLuxe certificate with ABT accreditation and are intended to support insurance eligibility. Acceptance is always at your insurer's discretion — please confirm with your insurer and check the requirements of the country you work in before booking.
Certificate titles, accreditation wording, durations, prices and eligibility are confirmed with you in writing before you enrol — we check your certificates first, because prior qualifications can shorten some routes. Kit and supplies costs are always quoted separately from the training fee.
