The complete beginner programme — everything you need to launch your nail career, in one fully tailored course.

​

If you're a complete beginner with no experience and you want to become a qualified nail technician, the Nail Tech Foundation Course is where you start. No prerequisites. No prior knowledge needed. Just the commitment to learn and the desire to build a real career in nails.

​

This is a fully 1-1 programme, tailored entirely around you — your pace, your availability, and your learning style. The course is structured across 4 days of intensive, hands-on training, ideally split across two weeks (2 days one week, 2 days the next), giving you time to practise between sessions and build genuine confidence before moving on. A optional 5th day is available if needed.

You'll cover every core nail service from scratch, with personal guidance throughout and the kind of attention that simply isn't possible in a group setting.

​

This is CURE's most comprehensive course and the fastest route from complete beginner to client-ready nail tech.

 

What's Included

• Manicure & Gel Polish Application

• Builder Gel Overlays

• Hard Gel Structure & Overlays

• Nail Art

• Business support and social media guidance woven throughout, plus a take-home PDF covering everything you need to get started professionally

​

Want to add nail extensions to your skillset? The Hard Gel Extensions module is available as an add-on to the Foundation Course. Speak to Grace at the time of booking to discuss whether this is the right next step for you.

Covering everything you need across all disciplines, with no duplicates. You'll leave with everything required to start working on clients straight away.

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT:

1:1 - Every discipline is taught under one roof, in one continuous programme — no waiting on a prior qualification before you can move on to the next skill, and nothing to piece together yourself. You start as a complete beginner and finish client-ready across five disciplines, not one. With this course you're not just looking to do a client here and a client there, your aim is to make money and with this 1-1 attention, you will get there faster. 

​

Free Returns - If a technique doesn't click the first time, you're not left to figure it out alone — you come back and go through it again with Grace until it does. That's built into the course, not an extra.

 

Mentoring - You're supported well beyond the five days. Regular check ins, zooms, video calls or client pic assesments - however we can make it work, I will be with you guiding you along the way.

 

Online Learning Platform - Every module comes with online tutorial videos you can return to whenever you need a refresher — at home, in your own time, for as long as you need them.
