Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our acrylic nail programs, enrollment process, and support services
Program Basics & Learning
What acrylic nail techniques will I learn during the program?
Our comprehensive program covers everything from basic acrylic application to advanced techniques including French tips, nail art designs, repair methods, and shaping techniques. You'll master both traditional brush and bead methods, learn proper filing and buffing techniques, and explore creative design applications. We also cover nail health, sanitation protocols, and client consultation skills that are essential for professional practice.
How long does it take to complete the full acrylic nail course?
The complete acrylic nail program typically takes 8-12 weeks depending on your chosen learning pace and schedule. We offer flexible timing options including intensive weekend workshops, evening classes, and part-time schedules that fit around your existing commitments. Most students find they can begin practicing professionally after 6 weeks, with continued skill refinement throughout the program.
Do I need any prior experience with nail art or beauty services?
No prior experience is required – our program is designed for complete beginners as well as those looking to enhance existing skills. We start with fundamental concepts and gradually build complexity. Many successful graduates came to us with no background in nail art or beauty services. Our instructors provide personalized attention to ensure everyone progresses at their optimal pace.
What materials and tools are included in the course fee?
Your course fee includes a comprehensive starter kit with professional-grade acrylic powders, liquid monomers, brushes, files, buffers, nail tips, and basic nail art supplies. You'll also receive practice hands, sanitization supplies, and access to our digital resource library. Advanced specialty tools and premium product upgrades are available for purchase, but everything needed to complete the program successfully is included.
Enrollment & Scheduling
When do new courses start and how do I secure my spot?
New acrylic nail courses begin monthly, with our next sessions starting in March, April, and May 2025. To secure your spot, complete our online enrollment form and submit a deposit of R500. This reserves your place in your preferred session and can be applied toward your total course fee. We recommend enrolling at least 3 weeks before your desired start date as classes fill quickly.
What scheduling options are available for working professionals?
We understand the challenges of balancing education with work commitments. Our scheduling options include weekend intensives (Saturdays 9am-4pm), evening classes (Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm-9pm), and flexible part-time arrangements. We also offer accelerated programs during school holidays and can accommodate shift workers with alternative scheduling when possible.
Can I transfer to a different class session if my schedule changes?
Yes, we offer one complimentary transfer to a different session within six months of your original enrollment, subject to availability. Additional transfers may incur a small administrative fee of R150. We require at least one week's notice for transfers, and you'll receive credit for any completed modules when joining your new session.
What happens if I need to miss a class session?
Missing occasional classes is understandable, and we provide several makeup options. You can attend the same session with a different class group, access recorded demonstrations for theoretical portions, or schedule individual catch-up sessions with instructors. We also provide detailed study materials and practice exercises to help you stay current with your class progress.
Support & Pricing
What support is available after I complete the course?
Graduates receive lifetime access to our alumni support network, monthly refresher workshops, and ongoing consultation services. We provide business startup guidance, supplier recommendations, and marketing assistance for those launching their own services. You'll also have access to advanced technique workshops and new product training as the industry evolves.
How much does the complete acrylic nail program cost?
The comprehensive acrylic nail program is R3,200, which includes all materials, instruction, practice supplies, and ongoing support resources. We offer flexible payment plans including a three-installment option (R1,200 down, then two payments of R1,000) and early bird discounts of R300 when you enroll more than one month in advance. Payment plans require no additional fees or interest charges.
Do you offer any guarantees or refund policies?
We stand behind our training quality with a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied after attending the first two sessions, we'll provide a full refund minus materials costs (approximately R400). After that point, we offer transfers to future sessions or credit toward other programs. We're confident in our training approach and want every student to succeed.
Are there additional costs I should budget for beyond the course fee?
The course fee covers everything needed for training completion. However, if you plan to start a professional practice, you might want to budget for additional supplies like extra products, professional lighting, client seating, or upgraded tools. We provide detailed startup cost guides and supplier recommendations to help you plan your investment wisely. Many graduates start with the included supplies and expand gradually.
