Online Gel Technician Certification Program

Our Online Certification Program is a certification course, which means you will awarded a beautiful certificate as a “Gel Nail Technician” upon completion of the course.  Our certification course does not mean you will be licensed upon completion.  Most Canadian provinces and some states in the US do not require a license for you to work as a nail technician.  However, some do require this, and it is your responsibility to check what your local guidelines are in accordance to needing to be licensed in order to work as a nail technician prior to enrolling in this course.

Our Online Certification program does expire.  You will have one year to complete the course.  If you are unable to complete the course within that year, you will lose access to the program until arrangements have been made to extend your program access for an agreed upon fee depending on the length of the term. Extension fee for a period of “6 months” is available for the discounted price of $555 CAD and is subject to change at any time. 

Our online art and shaping courses, however, do not ever expire!  Once purchased, you will have lifetime access to these courses.

A Certification is a professional recognition of achievement.  It means you have completed theoretical and practical training in the industry with excellence.  It gives clients confidence in coming to you, knowing you have undergone proper training.  Also, it is required from most beauty suppliers before they allow you to make a purchase.  As a bonus, it will give you wholesale industry pricing and give you access to professional only products. 

All sales are final. Deciding to take the plunge into a new career, or invest in a nail course of any sort, isn’t a choice that should be made on a whim. We encourage all potential students to ask lots of questions before making the investment to start their education.  

Simple answer, no! You can absolutely use your phone for all training, but having a computer or something with a larger screen (ie: iPad, tablet, laptop) will really help you to be able to watch all the videos on a larger scale so you can study all of the details.

We wanted to make our courses affordable for everyone, so our payment plan means your tuition will be split into 6 equal monthly payments of the total course cost.  Your first payment will come out immediately, and the next payments will come out on the same day of the month as your initial transaction. 

If you select a payment plan option, your Ugly Duckling Student kit is included in the tuition cost, meaning that you will be paying for this within your payment plan

The remaining kit items are purchased via Amazon, which cannot be on a payment plan.

The tuition including the Ugly Duckling Student Kit is $2622 + GST. The rest of the products are available for purchase through our Amazon store and total about $400.

So the total amount is approximately $3022 for the course and all the kit items!

There are payment plans available for the $2622 tuition.  The Amazon kit items, however, will have to be paid for in full.

Because our certification is taught using Ugly Duckling, you will have to purchase the Ugly Duckling kit, but it’s honestly such an amazing kit and it’s heavily discounted for our students at $400 (regular $550).  These savings on such high quality products are well worth it! 

We totally understand that some of our students are already doing nails and already have their own supplies at home!  For any of the kit items that are not in the Ugly Duckling Kit, we will just need you to send us a picture of them so that we can make sure you have what you will need to succeed in this program!

Upon purchase, you will have immediate access to you course.  It will show up in your account “Dash Board” and will be there every time you log into your Halo account!
