FAQ

Do I need an expensive kit to start?

No. A reliable lamp and a consistent system are more important than lots of products.

Should I buy products before the course?

If you’re unsure, wait until you know what system you’ll train with. We can guide you.

Do you recommend online courses as well?

Yes. Online training is great for revision and extra topics. Hands-on training is best for correction.
