Online library · Individual courses + 150-day bundle · Learn at your pace
Online nail courses, the honest version.
Patricia teaches focused salon technique online: BIAB Fix, salon masterclasses and free e-file lessons you can study from anywhere. Choose an individual course or the Full Nail Course Bundle, and check its access period before purchase. Complete beginners build their practical foundation in Dublin 2, where an educator can correct their hands in person.
Why we don’t sell an online beginner course
Some things shouldn’t be taught through a screen.
You can find online beginner gel courses all over the internet. We don’t sell one — deliberately. When you are starting from zero, an educator needs to be beside you: adjusting your angle mid-stroke, catching the too-much-pressure habit you don’t know you have, fixing mistakes at the desk before they become routine. That is why our Gel Beginner course runs live in Dublin 2 — small groups, 1:1 correction, ABT accredited. We wrote an honest side-by-side comparison if you are weighing the two.
What does work online: refining technique you already use. BIAB Fix, salon shapes, baby boomer, reverse French and e-file control are focused skills you can revisit while practising. The e-file course is free, so you can see how Patricia teaches before choosing a paid option.
The e-file starter course — 4 lessons, free to sign up and watch tonight.
Current Full Nail Course Bundle offer: four paid courses, including BIAB Fix, plus free e-file training.
Access with the current full bundle. Individually listed courses show 365-day access; check the option you choose.
What’s actually inside
Real lessons. Salon technique.
The library runs on learn.patricianailsacademy.com. Individual courses and the bundle have different access periods: the current full bundle includes 150 days, while individually listed courses show 365 days. Check the chosen option before purchase.

The honest split
Learn online. Correct in Dublin.
The online library suits you if…
- You already do nails and want to add services — baby boomer, reverse French, salon shapes — without waiting for a course date.
- You want to see how Patricia teaches before booking practical training: start with the free e-file course.
- You are outside Ireland — the lessons are open worldwide on your phone or laptop. Choose the individual-course or bundle access period that suits you.
Train in person in Dublin 2 if…
- You are starting from zero — beginner training is live only, on the beginner path, because your hand needs an educator beside it.
- Your sets lift or your habits need fixing — that is the 1:1 Private Upskill day.
- You want the ABT accredited, insurable route that Irish insurers recognise.

Do online courses come with a certificate?
Yes — every paid online course includes a certificate on completion. ABT accredited, insurable certification applies to the practical training in Dublin.

How does the upgrade to Dublin training work?
Start online, practise at home, then book the route that fits: the live Gel Beginner course if you are new, or a 1:1 Private Upskill day if you already work with clients. Message Patricia on WhatsApp and she will point you to the right one.
