So glad I chose NBA for my level 3 nail technician course. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Rachel our tutor is great and patient. I’ve heard about other places that offer beauty courses and the feedback has been not been very good.
Class mates are friendly and made a couple of friends already.
Don’t bother looking anywhere else. NBA is the best.

I'm training with NBA at the moment
I'm training with NBA at the moment, doing the level 3 nail course. I have done a course with another "academy" that I won't name and they are not a patch on NBA. NBA are very professional and everyone is lovely. No bitchy/bullying environment at all. The teacher Rachel is amazing and very helpful. Also with NBA you get a full nail kit in with the price of the course (unlike other places) what was a lovely surprise. NBA supply all the equipment that you need for the course. And they are spot on with PPE and covid rules. Everything is sanitised and the academy is spotless. I Highly recommend NBA and I'm looking forward to finishing the course. Thank you Olivia who helped me sort out my student loan. And thank you to all the staff. I look forward to learning with you and booking onto some of your day courses. Again, NBA day courses are very good prices, especially, considering how professional and the level of teaching they supply. I honestly can not recommend them high enough. All I can say to anyone thinking about doing any beauty courses is 100% book up with NBA. Dont go anywhere elses like I did. You will NOT regret booking a course with NBA. in my opinion they are the best in Sunderland (if not the North East). 5 star all round.

level 3 make up artistry…
Completed my level 3 make up artistry last year in october 2019, tutor was great given that we all felt the amount of weeks for course was not enough to learn and do practicals for all units, felt very rushed.
Still not received my certificates aswell and had no correspondence..
Dont think i would recommend

Currently halfway through my Level 3 Nail Technology course with the academy. My tutor and the staff are fantastic! I’m gaining so much from the course and cannot wait to finish to go out into the industry! I’ll be coming back for more courses in the future!
