Fast answer
Your first choice depends on your current hands.
If you are starting from zero, do not book advanced correction first. If you already practise, do not repeat a beginner course unless your foundations are missing. Use the route below.
Private Upskill
Choose this when retention, lifting, apex, sidewalls, e-file, speed or finish keeps going wrong.
View Private UpskillOnline first
Choose online gel, BIAB or e-file learning when you want to study at your pace before practical correction.
View Online CoursesE-file route
Choose e-file or combi correction when pressure, bit angle, cuticle prep or removal needs live coaching.

Match the course to the problem.
The wrong format wastes time. Pick the course based on what needs to be corrected: foundation, retention, structure, hand position, e-file safety, or flexible study.

FAQ
Before you choose the course.
Which nail course should I choose as a complete beginner?
Complete beginners should usually start with the Gel Beginner practical course in Dublin 2 because it gives corrected foundations before moving into private upskill or advanced techniques.
Should I choose group, private or online nail training?
Choose group training if you need a structured beginner route, private training if you already practise and need correction, and online training if you need flexible study or revision first.
When should I book Private Upskill?
Book Private Upskill when you already practise nails and need Patricia to correct specific problems such as retention, lifting, BIAB structure, e-file control, shape, refill speed or finish.
Can I start with online nail courses first?
Yes. Online nail courses are useful for preparation and revision, especially for gel, BIAB and e-file topics. Students can then upgrade to practical training in Dublin when hands-on correction is needed.
What is the best route if I want to become a nail technician?
The strongest route is usually Gel Beginner foundations first, then online revision or Private Upskill for correction, followed by focused e-file, BIAB, refill and salon workflow improvement.
