This diploma package consists of three practical training days. These courses are not run consecutively and you can choose the dates to suit you at your desired training centre (subject to availability).

Each training day runs from 10am – 4pm and we ask students to arrive at 9.45am to ensure a prompt start. You will learn the theory of the treatment firstly, and spend the majority of the day practising your practical skills, with a short break for lunch.

We have 10 training centre locations including: London Kings Cross, London Clapham Junction, London Bridge, Reading, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle.

All training centre locations are our own exclusive, permanent training facilities are set up, ready to train all-year round. Our centres are highly equipped and staffed by our friendly, fully qualified and experienced tutors. We never train from hotel rooms, conference suites or in-salons to ensure you get the best possible learning experience in spacious, well appointed and easily accessible locations.

All training centres can be reached by public transport. Many centres also have parking on-site or within reasonable walking distance.

Classic Lash Extensions allow you to create a fuller, longer lash look to enhance natural lashes. Gel polish provides a chip-free, high shine polish finish for up to 2-3 weeks. It can also help give some additional strength to natural nails to help encourage nail growth. Acrylic Nail Extensions have been popular for decades as a quick way of extending the nails and providing a durable, high shine nail extension that can be left natural or finished with gel polish.
