Beginners Builder Gel Course

The Builder gel course is aimed at those who have already completed gel polish / manicure courses in the past, or nail technicians with prior experience who would like to expand their treatment menu. If you have never completed an accredited nail course before this course option is not appropriate, please check out my gel polish course or the complete beginners course.

Builder gel is one of the most in-demand services in the industry, and when done correctly can be used to strengthen and enhance growth of the natural nail, as well as reduce breaks, lifting, and chipping. 

This one-day course will allow you to expand your service list, and improve your versatility as a nail tech – catering to a wider client base.

This course comes with a builder gel kit included.

How It Works Theory
Once you have signed up to the course and chosen your training date, you will receive access to an online education portal with The Beauty Guild – the awarding body for your accreditation. Here you will complete your mandatory theory modules, which will give you the necessary knowledge and tools to confidently complete your in person practical. It is compulsory that you complete this online theory prior to attending your in person training so that we can focus entirely on enhancing your practical skills. Practical Upon attendance of your practical day, we will take the time to ensure you are up to speed and ready to get stuck into your training, where you will receive full product lists and must-haves, practice hygiene standards, observe in-depth demonstrations, and complete an assessment on a model. This is a hands-on day where you will be supervised and nurtured throughout, our private 1-1 environment means you are able to take things at your own pace.
