Start a Career in Nail Art and Design

Maybe you already do your own nails and people ask who did them. This course covers prep, then the designs clients book by name, from chrome to marbling. It ends on aftercare and troubleshooting.

Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Prep Before Polish

Tools, equipment and nail preparation come first. Designs last longer when the base is done right.

Twelve Techniques

Glitter and sugaring, chrome, flake and foil, stickers, stamping, ombre, French, marbling, line work, florals and jewellery.

Fix It on the Day

The last stage is aftercare and troubleshooting, so a lifting tip does not cost you the client.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Nail work suits people who like detail and repeat clients. Some join a salon floor, others build a home studio and take bookings direct.

Nail Artist

Design work on a salon floor or in your own space.

Nail Art Technician

Technique work, from chrome and foil through to jewellery.

Your Own Nail Studio

Your own bookings and prices, with the bonus courses behind you.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. This is a college course, not a nationally recognised credential, and some employers ask for one.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

The design list is the reason to look: twelve named techniques, not a general overview, plus the kit to practise every one of them.

01
A Named Design List

Chrome, foil, stamping, ombre, French, marbling, line work and florals each get taught, rather than lumped under nail art.

02
The Kit Arrives

Tools, textures, pigments, liquids and disposables come in a custom case. You practise on the products you will buy again.

03
Business Comes With It

Two bonus short courses cover business and social media, which is how nail work gets found.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience to start?

No. The course opens with tools and nail preparation before any design work. You will need to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, over eighteen, with a computer and reliable internet. The college can supply a computer or tablet if you do not have one.

How long does it take?

Six to ten weeks at your own speed, and you keep access to the material for twelve months.

What does it cost?

From $38 per week on a payment plan. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly options are available, or you can pay in full.

What is in the kit?

Tools and equipment, texture products, pigment products, liquid products and disposable items. The kit is yours to keep.

Which designs are covered?

Glitter and sugaring, chrome, flake and foil, sticker and decal, stamping, ombre, French, marbling, line designs, flower designs and nail jewellery.

What kind of recognition does it carry?

A Certificate of Attainment issued by the college on completion. It is not a nationally recognised credential under the Australian Qualifications Framework. For salon work or your own studio, it is the technique and the portfolio that clients judge.

Can I study with a disability or medical condition?

Yes. Tell the college during enrolment if something could affect your online study, and they will work through the adjustments with you.
