Learning How to Do Nails Online Can Save Students Travel Time and Minimize Educational Costs

As we move into the new age of technology, online training programs are becoming more and more popular and accepted globally for meeting industry training standards.

Students of the beauty industry can now learn the art & science of nail technology through online programs such as the online nail certificate program from The Academy of Nail Design.

The owner and founder of the school, which is a Private Career College, located in Ontario Canada, Jennifer McKittrick, created the online nail program when she began receiving inquiries for the availability of the Academy's nail program from students as far away as the Yukon territories. "I wanted to provide a professional learning environment for students who either due to travel or time issues were not able to attend our in class sessions. Some of these students are located in very remote areas and have no access to any formal education. It was very important to me that these students be afforded the same opportunity to experience high quality and comprehensive training despite the fact that they were not in class with the instructor."

McKittrick spent several months converting the existing diploma program content the school used for the in class sessions into a useable format which allows students to download course materials and order professional kits right from the comfort of their own home. Online students also have access to an instructor by e-mail and telephone for any additional help they require.

Students are required to complete 10 individual modules that include; Today's Nail Professional, Anatomy, Nail disease and disorders, Client assessment, Salon and chemical safety, manicure/spa manicure, pedicure/spa pedicure, fiberglass, acrylic and UV Gel enhancements in order to receive their Certificate of Completion.

The cost of the online program is also significantly lower than attending the program in class as the studies are done all independently and the student sets their own pace at which they would like to complete the program.

"I feel extremely proud of our online program and its ability to assist those who may miss the opportunity to get into a career as rewarding as that of the nail industry. I feel that this type of technology is the wave of the future."
