*Unlimited attempts at your assessment. The first attempt is included in your course fees and all others are priced at $100 per hour.

Prerequisites: Students are required to have completed a nationally recognised nail qualification that covered acrylic, hard gel, polygel or BIAB use. The modules listed above are accepted examples of this. You are also required to have passed ‘The Theory of Nails’ module before a certificate will be provided. You only have to pass the exam though - if you are confident, you can attempt this once for free before needing to enrol in The Theory of Nails.

Note: During the exam, you are required to complete a full backfill service on 10 nails of either BIAB, acrylic, hard gel or polygel applied 2 weeks prior to the exam and with a minimum of 2mm growth. You are required to use the e-file to remove gel polish, remove lifting, shorten the nail and contour the nail applicable to the full service being provided.
