Are you someone who has a strong attention to detail, a creative mindset, and a love for beauty? If a career in creating stunning nail art sounds right for you, get started with International Academy. In our nail technician program, you can explore your creative side while you learn current nail trends. Our curriculum focuses on offering you the skills you need to be a successful nail technologist.
We designed our program to offer full training in both nail science and artistry. You’ll start your education with classroom theory and learning from experienced instructors. You’ll then get to practice what you learned in our student spa under the supervision of licensed professionals. Our nail technology program is separated into two sections:
Basic Nail Skills: The basics start with an orientation to the field of nail technology. You’ll learn theories within a classroom setting and work on manikins and live models for hands-on practice.
Advanced Skills: An extension of basic skills, you’ll get the opportunity to work on real clients in our student salon while preparing for employment competency level and licensure. As you provide services to actual clients, you’ll get live feedback as all services are closely supervised by our licensed instructors.
By the time you graduate, we want you to feel confident and prepared for the industry. Our goal is to help our students succeed in their education and their careers.
