Why you should train with RBB
-
The Trainer
RBB Trainer, Monique, holds several certificates in nails from both Australian and international organisations. Not only is she actively working in the industry, but has 4.5 years experience and is about to be a certified trainer and assessor (April/May 2025). Learn more about the trainer.
-
The Course
Our nail course is very detailed and thorough making it beginner-friendly. The online tutorials contain plenty of detailed video demonstrations with footage from multiple angles. In-person training includes live demonstrations and additional support videos where needed.
-
The Assessments
Online courses require submission of work for strict assessment prior to a certificate being issued. This ensures your work has the RBB stamp of approval before you venture into the industry! In-person students complete multiple sets under the guidance of our trainer.
-
The Access
Online courses have a long access period of 12 months. This means you can go back in to revise content at anytime throughout your learning process and when you start taking clients. We are confident that you wil have the skills provided well within the 12 month period! In-person students receive a physical manual to keep for life and 12 month access to the online modules.
-
The Support
RBB offers ongoing support for future students within their 12 month access period. Additional 1:1 in-person training can organised for further support where required. It is fully customised to the student, whether it be for refining manicure skills, learning some nail art or starting up your business!
FAQ
When will the training launch?
Our training will be available from mid-late 2025. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter above and follow our training Instagram for further updates!
How can I enroll in the course?
UPON LAUNCH - You can purchase the course right here on our website if you're wanting to pay in full or use Afterpay. You will be automatically enrolled into our online learning platform after purchase.
If you require a payment plan, you will need to purchase the course directly through our online learning platform.
Do you offer payment plans?
UPON LAUNCH - Yes! All of our courses and products offer Afterpay when using this website. Just checkout as normal and select Afterpay as a payment method. We do also offer different payment plans.
In person trainings can be offered on a payment plan for the duration required, however, the full amount needs to be paid in full prior to attendance. A minimum of 50% must be paid prior to locking in dates, and 100% paid 2 weeks prior to attendance.
For online courses, if you require a payment plan you cannot enrol via this website, you have to enrol via our online learning platform directly by visiting here (not yet available). Certificate is not issued until the course is paid in full. Access will be terminated for any missed payments.
What will be included?
Our training teaches you how to perform a Russian Manicure and apply gel polish, builder gel and Gel X extensions.
You will also learn nail repairs/corrections, skin/nail conditions, painting a french tip, tool cleaning, product chemistry & more!
We also include bonus modules such as salon start up and marketing basics, decal application and taking high quality nail photos.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes! Our goal at RBB is to provide very thorough, detailed trainings suitable for those with absolutely no experience, or as a great refresher for those with prior training.
Is it online or in person?
We are intending to launch both online and in-person (Melbourne) training.
Does it include a kit?
Kits are not included in the course as evert technician has their own preference of product. No product is a one fits all. We also recognise that some of our students are existing technicians who may not require many new additions to their collection.
Instead, we have an optional kit available for add on with some of our favourites! It is not a "full kit", just a few key things we loved and recommend! Inclusions and pricing TBA.
We also provide product and supplier recommendations within the course.
Do I gain a nationally accredited qualification?
While Monique will be a certified trainer and assessor, our courses will not be nationally accredited. There are a few reasons why have chosen to do this
1) Necessity - You do not *need* a nationally accredited qualification to be a successful or legal nail technician in Australia. But for insurance purposes, council approval and for the sake of your clients, a formal training is ESSENTIAL. That is what RBB offers!
2) Accessibility - Accredited nail courses can cost anywhere from $4000-12,000AUD.
3) Current - Our trainings will constantly be updated with new information, while accredited courses have firm content boundaries provided to them in the training package. They often lack new and advanced techniques and only recommend products bulk purchased for kits. Our course is taught by an industry professional who who runs their own successful business, not by trainers who are no longer in the industry. We teach you how to choose the correct products for you.
4) Customisation - Aside from our full courses, we offer 1:1 trainings. These are customised to the individual to address areas of concern. This is not available in an accredited course.
5) Flexibility - Online training can be completed at anytime from anywhere at your own pace! As long as you complete it by the end of your access period. In-person training intake will be offered regularly throughout the year and is not limited to annual or semi-annual intakes.
Is the course available internationally?
Yes! Online courses, digital downloads and webinars are available for access internationally.
However, optional kit add ons are only shipped Australia-wide. With enough interest, we can also ship to New Zealand.
One crucial thing to note is that you will need to check the requirements of your state/country to see what training you require to legally operate as a nail technician. In Australia, our private course is sufficient to operate as our industry is not regulated compared to the USA where you may require a license.
Do you offer group training?
Our current RBB salon is only fit for one student at a time, however, with enough demand, we can travel for group classes for salons. TBA
Do you offer refresher training?
WHEN LAUNCHED - Yes! RBB offers 1:1 in-person customised training days if you are a nail technician who has already completed a course and has sufficient knowledge but wants to refine a few key areas. Contact us and we can discuss what areas you are struggling in and we will allocate a day to work on those skills.
If you have no prior course completion, or have no experience in the the topic you are interested in refining (e.g Gel X or Builder Gel), we recommend the full course instead as a one day training will not be beneficial for you.
