Nail training · East Cork
Learn nails properly, in a working studio rather than a hotel function space. Our Midleton training space is fifteen minutes from Carrigtwohill, half an hour from Cork city and easy to reach from Youghal, Cobh and Fermoy — so you can train close to home and start taking clients locally.
Start with manicure and pedicure foundations, or come in at gel polish, BIAB overlays, extensions, e-file or nail art if you already work behind a desk. Courses are taught hands-on with models, and the accreditation route is shown course by course, subject to current approval. Academy-use supplies and consumables are supplied for your training; kits are priced separately.

E-file technique for enhancements — refining structure, refills and efficient, safe reduction.

Design work that sells — technique, placement and finish for a modern nail art menu.
Start with Spa Manicure and Spa Pedicure, then add UV/LED Gel Polish. That gives you a full, insurable service menu to open with.
BIAB overlays, hard gel extensions, e-file and nail art are the courses that raise your price per appointment. Bring your certificates — a recognised qualification can shorten the route.
The Complete Nail Technician pathway runs all the nail modules together, usually as a small class. See the pathways.
