Distance learning nail courses - are they okay?

I have been looking at Nail courses online - are the certificates worthless or really recognised if I wanted a job in a salon?Distance learning nail courses - are they okay?
Most of the certificates are recognised, just double check before you buy the course. Distance learning for things like this are very difficult, especially if you have no previous experience. Because you don't have a tutor there with you showing you how to do it, and what to change if you do things wrong, it can be very frustrating if things don't go right for you.





You do have tutors to help you whenever you need them via phone or e mail, but as i stated before, someone can tell you how to do something over and over again, but unless they physically show on a one to one basis, what your doing wrong, you will have difficulties. Also depends on the type of nail course you are doing, just putting tips on a nail can cause huge problems, especially with air bubbles and blending. The Acrylic system is the hardest to master and unless you get shown exactly how to get your mix of liquid and powder right, then i wouldn't bother as you will end up doing bad sets of nails without even realising. Even if you learn this in college, it CAN take months to get the mix ratio right.





You would be better off doing a course in college, then again its up to you to decide. Lots of people have done these courses, and have been very pleased with them. I just don't feel that you can properly learn the practical skills, as easily as if you did a college course. I hope this information is helpful to you, and good luck :)Distance learning nail courses - are they okay?
If you live in the USA, call your state licensing board and ask them. Some do and some don't. There are nail salons that let you train there at the solon. So just do your home work by making some phone calls and then go for it.....


Good luck
