Nail pathway
Complete Nail Technician pathway
This is the full nail technician route: every nail module in our current nail catalogue, taken together, so you finish with a complete service menu rather than one skill.
It usually runs as a four-person class over nine days — the route we recommend and the price we lead with for someone starting out. It can also run as a two-person group or one-to-one.

Payment on a blended route
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.
- Due today, either blended route
- €1,295
- Balance, two-person route
- €2,405
- Balance, one-to-one route
- €3,305
Pathway places are confirmed with us in writing before payment — we book you onto the individual approved module dates that make up the pathway.
Training days: 9 days
Nine 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.
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.
Before you enrol
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.
