Pedicure Diploma

Learn to master the very basic skills needed to be a successful nail technician. Understand the different techniques needed and offer your pedicure services legally to friends, family and clients. Once you have successfully completed the course, you will receive an accredited diploma from ABT and IPHM.  You are also eligible to apply for professional insurance. You must be 18 or over to apply for professional indemnity insurance. When you enrol on this course you have the options of adding on the professional kit you need to complete the course, as well as an optional live 2-3 hour interactive session. This is a face to face training session that is accessed through a virtual classroom, where your tutor will clearly explain the theory and demonstrate how to perform the treatment. You’ll get the chance to discuss any issues you may be experiencing, and gain invaluable feedback from your tutor. This method of training is ideal because you can log in from anywhere, providing you have reliable internet connection, and on any device, which saves you the time and cost of travelling to a training centre.
