About Our Academy

High Standards

Incandescent Shine Nail & Beauty training academy offers the very best in high quality training services. We also work closely with independent educators and nail technicians throughout the country to enable us to offer a full wide reaching service.

All our educators work using the same standards and teaching methods; and using the same products and course materials. Our educators are all fully authorised, verified and constantly updated which means they teach to very high standards.

Our courses run in this way to allow us as educators to concentrate our skills on delivering consistent results. All our educators know exactly how to get the best results out of all the products used on our courses; in turn this means they will be no delays or confusion in any of the techniques or methods taught.

Focused Training

We believe by using one high-quality product set and using consistently applied training methods during our courses that we can solely be focused on teaching you the how and why you need to use certain techniques, rather than wasting valuable time exploring and explaining the various inconsistencies between different brands of products. We understand that all our students will learn at a different pace and by being consistent in our teaching process and the products we use then all students should be able to achieve maximum results. The beauty industry contains many great products available for you to choose from and use, and once qualified we are sure you will find your preferred path, products, and techniques to use; but like all great athletes, you first need to learn to walk before you can run. This is where we at Incandescent Shine believe we excel above and beyond all other courses available on the market today, we focus on laying strong foundations allowing you to progress faster and build a long-lasting skill set.

Up-to-date skills

With the collaboration of Incandescent Shine all authorised educators constantly review their teaching methods and course content; as well as their own skills. This means every authorised educator has the precise skills and knowledge to progress your career.

Our registration, certification, and graduation processes are also consistently applied by our educators, this means should you sign up for a course, you are guaranteed to receive exactly what you ordered. In the unlikely event that an educator should fail you as a student during your education process we also have all the processes in place to act quickly to rectify any issues.

Fully Accredited

All Incandescent Shine training courses are fully ABT Accredited. This means once you have qualified from your course the certification you receive will not only allow you to study further within the industry but it means that all training materials you receive and the actual course content has been delivered to a specified and recognised industry standard.

Full support and follow up advice

Our education services are constantly expanding, and they already go above and beyond most training providers. During and after any course you take you will have access to our full range of support platforms. Here you can seek out any advice you may require from either educators, technicians, or even other students.

As a student, you will have the full backup and support systems of other educators within our academy and also other businesses who use our products to help guide and progress your career.

We run all our training courses with small dedicated groups of people so you are guaranteed to receive all the dedicated time you need to learn your chosen skills.

Solid Foundations

As with any skill in life, the only way to progress is to build solid foundations. At Incandescent Shine we leave no stone unturned when it comes to skill building, and we make sure you can learn safely, with confidence, and we will make sure the foundations exist for you to build those long term skills.

The nail and beauty industry can be a lonely confusing and competitive place especially when you are just starting out, here at Incandescent Shine you will not be left to sink or swim. We believe in connecting people and growing skills, and we take great pride in our approach to making people successful.

We find it works out far fairer to discuss all your requirements and expectations up front. This way there can be no hidden charges at all and knowing your exact requirements enables us to quote you the correct cost to get your learning off to the perfect start.

Unless you are specifically asked to supply a course requirement on the day, once your course is paid you simply need to turn up and learn without worrying about anything!

There are so many mediums used within the Nail & Beauty industry and each one requires differing and high level technical skills to use. Because of this each course is separated into its own area so not only can we focus on teaching you one skill at a time, but more importantly you can allow yourself to learn and focus on that one skill. This teaching method is tried and tested, and will make sure you learn a skill well, and retain the knowledge taught before advancing to another skill/medium.

Incandescent Shine realise everyone has budget requirements that are different and the fees involved are not only a commitment of your time but also of your finances.

Our courses run in small classes and spaces are as such at a premium, when they are full we cannot accept anyone else onto the course. For this reason when you are booking a course we do ask for a small non-refundable securing deposit to be paid, this deposit secures your place on the course and is classed as your commitment to attend the course.

After you have paid the securing deposit you will receive a full course breakdown and a date by which the rest of the course fee is payable by. Normally this is 7 days prior to the start of the course so should you wish to spread payments booking courses further in advance will give you more flexibility on how to budget for your course costs.

After making your initial enquiry and confirming your training needs and the costs that will be involved should you decide to proceed then you will receive a student enrolment form from us. On this will be the details discussed during your enquiry and a detailed breakdown of the course, its location, time of attendance and payments required.

This form also outlines our full terms and conditions and protects you as a student should you fail to receive the course outlined. We require you to sign and return this form to your educator to show you accept our full terms & conditions.

Learning a new skill is always daunting, and we realise a lot of information is required to be learned in such a relative short space of time. This is where we would like to assure you that after the course you will have our full support to help you nurture your new skills.

We have a full online community and support group all there to help you through your new learned skills. Our educators and brand ambassadors are all highly active and will help guide you every step of the way. We have a full and growing range of free tutorials and quick guides available on youtube for you to watch.

You definitely will not be left in the dark with our friendly community and support systems should you need further assistance. You can also use this system in the future to help others too!

Accreditation is an industry standard used to validate the skills you are been taught.

In theory anyone can teach you any skills at all but you have absolutely no guarantee that those skills will be correctly taught or the information you receive will even be legal. As such when you do come to open a salon or work on clients you will find it very difficult to get insurance for your skills and business should things go wrong. Accreditation offers you the peace of mind that the course you are attending and the educator teaching you have all been verified to be of a high and legal standard to teach you. Their teaching abilities, processes and information used are all verified and registered with the accreditation body. This means a smooth transition into the industry and an easy and safe passage into growing your business!

Our accreditation body is ABT Insurance

The Nail & Beauty industry offers so many wonderful skills and paths and it can all seem a little daunting at first, but we can definitely help guide you through. We offer completely free no obligation advice so please feel free to
