This is a fully private 1-to-1 training day with Jamie, designed to take you from complete beginner to accredited gel technician in a single day. No groups, no waiting around — just focused, practical training built entirely around you and your pace.
You'll work on real hands throughout the day, covering everything from nail anatomy and prep through to gel application, finishing, and removal. By the end of the day you'll have the technique, the confidence, and the certificate to start charging for your work.
What's included: full day of private training with Jamie, pre-course theory materials, ABT-accredited certificate, and ongoing post-course support.
Perfect for complete beginners, career changers, and anyone who's been self-teaching and wants a professional qualification to back it up.
What to bring Just yourself. All tools, products, and materials are provided on the day. Wear comfortable clothing and avoid long or loose sleeves — you'll be working with your hands throughout.
Before your course Your pre-course theory materials will be sent to you by email once your booking is confirmed. Please complete these before your training day — it means we can spend the full day on practical, hands-on work with Jamie rather than covering theory in the room.
Location Training takes place at JEM Studios Billericay. Parking is available behind the salon. Please arrive 10 - 15 minutes before your start time.
What to expect on the day Your session runs from 10:00 am to approximately 4:00 pm with a lunch break. You'll be working on model and real hands throughout — Jamie will guide you through every step at your own pace. There are no other students in the room; this is entirely private time with Jamie.
