I really enjoyed the course

I really enjoyed the course, the videos were clear and I had no issues as I have done with other courses. The written information was easy to read and I feel confident to add permanent eye liner (after some practice) to my business.

This is a complete waste of time

This is a complete waste of time - don't waste your money! It was an annoying robotic voice, no clear visuals, extremely basic! You can pick far more up from YouTube for free.
Extremely disappointing!

Well structured and flexible learning

The nail technician e-course was very well structured. I appreciated the flexibility to study at my own pace, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The recap sections were especially helpful for reinforcing what I had learned.
