Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need before booking this course?
You'll need an existing gel polish qualification, as this course builds on gel polish fundamentals. If you're a complete beginner, take a look at our 2 in 1 or Expert courses instead.
How do deposits work?
A £100 deposit secures your place on the course, with the remaining balance due before your training day. Once you've enquired and we've agreed a date, we'll send you the details to pay your deposit.
Do I need to bring a model?
No model is needed on your training day — practical work is carried out on training hands and each other where appropriate. Your case studies are completed in your own time after the course and submitted for review before certification.
Is the course accredited?
Yes — you'll receive an accredited certificate on successful completion of your training and case studies, allowing you to gain insurance and work on paying clients.
Where does the training take place?
All in-person training takes place at the CREATE studio: 43c High Street, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7 1BA. Marlow is easily reached from the M4 and M40, with public car parks a short walk from the studio.
