  • My journey over the last 8 months with nails has been amazing! I can’t Thankyou enough for all the support I’ve had from the training courses as well as all the support I’ve had after if I’ve had any questions or just the ongoing appreciation you have to my work it’s so nice… the training was so detailed and informative it has really helped me to be confident and push myself with my work. I completed both my gel manicure course and builder gel manicure courses in October 2023, since doing this I have started up in a salon working self employed, I have built up a strong clientele with regular clients of over 30 plus girls! I have become a brand ambassador for the cuticle lab over the last couple months, I’ve had to half my hours at my full time job so I can fit all my clients in so I’ve actually taken the leap to go part time and looking to go completely full time with nails after summer.

    The training courses were beyond helpful in so many ways, I really liked that the course was a small class it felt a lot more 1-1 which I really like, as for learning I feel I can take in all the information without feeling overwhelmed…I loved that you had a booklet that you made and I can keep so if I ever have concerns or ever been unsure I can look back on this as a refresher of my training. The courses had a good structure I liked the way we did all the theory first to understand the nail health and information on the products and brands but also how we focused on the practical last I felt this structure helped me leave feeling as though I really understood what you had taught us, the patience you gave through training and how you explained and showed us how to prep , apply products and finish a manicure has really stuck with me and helped me gain so much confidence with my manicures on my clients.

    My plans for the future are to have my own nail shop or salon to have a training academy of my own and just to smash it! I’m so happy with being a nail technician I love the flexibility of hours, being able to make girls/boys feel confident in themselves and to push myself by practicing as much as I can.

    Thankyou so much for all the help I couldn’t recommend your training enough you’ve made me set goals for a business that I never knew I could do! And I’m so excited for what is to come for future.

  • I absolutely adored my experience in the Academy, covering all three courses of beginner gel, builder gel & e-file. Not only did I get training, I also got mentoring, a guide on how to run my business through social media, and an ongoing support system for any questions or problems I might have.

    I qualified back in February and it is the best thing I’ve ever done! Goda has perfected my application, nail prep and time keeping and will forever recommend her to anyone starting out in the nail industry!

  • I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in the academy! Goda was an incredible mentor during and after both of my courses, and has been incredibly supportive in my journey to becoming a nail tech from posting my work to answering any questions I had, even months after my courses were completed. 

    I qualified in the beginner gel course with 2 other girls and the builder gel course 1-1 which were both detailed and slow paced to ensure the most understanding. It has completely changed my life in a matter of a few months and I can finally say I do my dream job everyday! I will forever recommend anyone starting out in this industry to train with Godas Academy!

  • I completed my E-file training course with Goda on the 28th February. Goda is so friendly and made me feel welcomed and relaxed on arrival. There were 3 students including me on the training course, which I much preferred as it felt like a more one to one experience and made me feel more comfortable compared to when I have done other training courses and there have been 10+ students.

    Goda is very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had. The handbooks we received on the day were very useful at showing us the different steps and parts of the e file machine and is handy to have to look back on after the course. After learning the theory behind using an e-file we practiced on ourselves and on eachother.

    I felt confident in using the machine due to the knowledge Goda taught us and that she was over seeing how we used it and giving us any tips if needed. I left the training feeling confident enough to use my E-file on clients straight away. I would highly recommend Goda’s training academy.

  • Goda has really helped me get far with my nails. She’s an amazing teacher that makes sure you learn everything you need to know including social media and how to gain more clients. Her skills have really helped me and they are absolutely amazing. I loved all the courses they were so much fun and very helpful. Goda is a great teacher who takes pride in her work and I highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking to start a career in nails
