Pathways & packages
Train for a whole career, not one treatment
Where a pathway runs as a class of four, the per-learner price reflects the shared class rather than one-to-one time — the same nine days of training, at a price that works for someone starting out. Waxing practicals always lead with a group of two, because of studio capacity.
| Pathway | Days | Class of four | Two-person | One-to-one | Online |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Waxing — coreGroup price is per learner in a group of two — the normal group size for waxing practicals, because of studio capacity. | 3 days | On request | €1,250 | €1,550 | €499.99 |
| Complete Waxing + Roller WaxingGroup price is per learner in a group of two. | 4 days | On request | €1,700 | €2,100 | €649.99 |

| E-File Complete — both modulesBoth e-file modules taken together: E-File for Natural Nail Care & Removal and E-File for Nail Enhancements.

| Complete Nail Technician — all modulesNine full days when every module is included. It is designed to run as a four-person class at €2,500 per learner — the route we recommend and the price we lead with. A shorter package can leave out modules you don't need, quoted on enquiry. Kits and any VTCT/ITEC registration or awarding fees are separate. | 9 days | €2,500 | €3,700 | €4,600 | €1,295 |

AIT Accredited courses carry an AuraLuxe certificate with AIT 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.
