Amazing experience

Having the course be at your own pace was a god sent. As a busy University student being able to complete the content at my own pace was amazing! I am so grateful for all the help that the team gave me, when I had a question about anything I was able to receive an answer within the hour. Everyone was so understanding and encouraging… here I am now a certified nail technician.
Thank you everyone at National Institute of Beauty.

Eyelash Extension Course

I highly recommend this beauty course. It’s affordable, and the tutors are supportive & provide great advice & feedback. I enjoy the flexibility of this being an online course. I also loved how easily accessible the online platforms were and the website's layout. The tutorial videos were beneficial and easy to follow! I’ve finally completed one of my Eyelash Extension Courses after a few years of doing it on and off, & having the freedom of time to do it at home in my own time was super convenient, especially being a SAHM. Thank you to Karen & the others for taking your precious time to help me complete this online course

Always able to contact someone for help if it was needed and the response was always very quick. I am a stay at home mum and I am opening up my own business from home. I will definitely be back to do some more study to add to my nails services. Definitely recommend this course. Thanks again!

I had an amazing experience training with NIB, the feedback was quick and so through and simple to understand. The training guides are fantastic and well detailed. The app you use whilst doing your assessments make it super easy to make sure you take the correct shots. I can not wait to use my qualification to excel as a nail technician that has skills to complete a high standard of manicure and pedicure treatments.
