This has been a great resource for me in my aesthetic journey. I was able to do the online training and refer back to it as needed.

The online courses are not a waste of time. But you can't start a business without insurance. The insurance company also requires practice. Now I have a very nice online course and paperwork, but I can't start the business itself. Online courses only provide theory, unfortunately you can't learn the practice from it. Hand movements, pressure, etc.
Gel course with next step beauty
I have done a few courses with next step beauty they are very easy to follow and can be done in your own time. I have had to get in touch with them a couple of times and this was very easy to do and I had one person who dealt with it which is great not being passed from person to person.

Excellent Holistic Course completed
Excellent Holistic Course completed. Videos and course books were easy to follow and very informative. The course was fast and efficient with fabulous feedback and results. Would highly recommend!
Enjoyable and Informative
I enjoyed the courses, and have purchased 2 more. The course eBooks are very informative, each unit has useful videos and the tutorials are easy to follow with lots of advice.
The section about starting up a business, advertising etc. was really good but, it would be great if there was a section which gave advice on suggested products and equipment and where to buy them, especially for beginners.
Excellent Courses
Easy to register. Choice of courses explained before deciding which ones to complete. Course was thorough, with printable information. Video training was good, so much easier when you can watch the procedures. Follow up was great, certificate came through quickly. Easy to go back into your course for a refresher if needed. Recommended products are excellent and can be obtained through website. You also get emails afterwards with helpful advice about setting up and running your own business, although there is a section in each course around insurance etc.

The course had lots of information and any questions I had was answered quickly. I have learned so much and was able to start working on friends and family, I highly recommended to do this course.

My whole experience from start to finish was amazing, very easy and very informative which is ideal as I am not one to be ‘academic’ this made me so excited the videos, the book was all a great help
if I could recommend anything, it would be this course.
why you should used nest step beauty
Easy to understand video and handbook
Ability to use trainer hand for case study as not everyone has family or friends who would trust them with their diamonds (treat you nails like diamonds)
Poor
I was doing a nail technician course and I wanted to cancel and get a refund as I was not using it, I have requested 3 call backs and received no call back, no refund and they left me with no money as they took more than they should of aswell! Will never be doing a course with these and I don’t suggest to either!
