Enjoyable and Informative

I enjoyed the courses, and have purchased 2 more. The course eBooks are very informative, each unit has useful videos and the tutorials are easy to follow with lots of advice.

The section about starting up a business, advertising etc. was really good but, it would be great if there was a section which gave advice on suggested products and equipment and where to buy them, especially for beginners.

Excellent Courses

Easy to register. Choice of courses explained before deciding which ones to complete. Course was thorough, with printable information. Video training was good, so much easier when you can watch the procedures. Follow up was great, certificate came through quickly. Easy to go back into your course for a refresher if needed. Recommended products are excellent and can be obtained through website. You also get emails afterwards with helpful advice about setting up and running your own business, although there is a section in each course around insurance etc.

why you should used nest step beauty

Easy to understand video and handbook
Ability to use trainer hand for case study as not everyone has family or friends who would trust them with their diamonds (treat you nails like diamonds)

Poor

I was doing a nail technician course and I wanted to cancel and get a refund as I was not using it, I have requested 3 call backs and received no call back, no refund and they left me with no money as they took more than they should of aswell! Will never be doing a course with these and I don’t suggest to either!

Hi Caitlin,

Thank you for your review.

Upon looking in to your account i can see you have accessed your courses and are over 60% complete. Our courses are digital products and as such when the material has been consumed your cancellation options are limited and on this occasion we had to decline your request.

I can also see a late fee was added on to your account as your payment was over 7 days late. If students experience financial difficulties or expect the payment to be late, we encourage them to reach out and we can extend your payment plan or move the date to one that works for the student.

Fantastic course

I really enjoyed this course. I did my nail technician one with next step. I loved learning new things and if I needed to speak with anyone they got back to be right away. I like I can look back over my workbooks and any training material if I need to.

Easy and Flexible Course

I learnt so much from the course. This has helped me so much to have the in depth knowledge I need to provide a good service for my clients. It was very easy to follow and so flexible that I could do it around my kids schedule. Would recommend this course if you have a busy lifestyle. You could even login online to revisit any materials which I think is brilliant.

Courses are good

The courses themselves were good and informative, however I did find it hard to get all the information together before doing the courses. It wasn’t until I joined the group chat on Facebook that I learned I didn’t need to submit case studies. I tried contact the course administrator but never heard back. I’ve got one course to submit evidence for and I’m waiting to get the products for that. There’s no kits online so I’m finding it hard to find all the products I will need.

I found the courses with next step beauty extremely enjoyable. The way everything is set out so clearly and easy to understand. Very helpful advice and tips every step of the way. Easy to get in contact with if you have a problem. The tutorials are clear and you have lifetime access to them. I’ve often returned to them to refresh myself if I haven’t done something for a while. All in all I’ve really enjoyed my journey with next step beauty.
