FAQs
-
Q: What certification will I receive upon completion?
-
A: You will be awarded a Gel-X Extension Specialist Certificate. This credential verifies your mastery in the world’s first soft-gel extension system, covering tip selection, bonding, and maintenance. It is CPD and Course Accreditation Worldwide Accredited and fully recognized for professional insurance.
-
-
Q: Can I take this course as a beginner?
-
A: No, this is a specialist advancement course. Because Gel-X™ is a professional enhancement system, a qualification in Gel Polish is a mandatory prerequisite.

-
-
Q: What is the difference between this and the Professional Hard Gel course?
-
A: Hard Gel is a "builder" system used for sculpting and overlays that requires manual filing and structure building. Gel-X is a "Speed System" using full-coverage soft-gel tips that are bonded to the nail. It is faster to apply, requires no heavy filing, and is 100% soak-off.
-
-
Q: What is the difference between this and the Specialist Trio?

A: The Specialist Trio is a bundle that includes Gel Polish, BIAB, and Gel-X. This standalone course is specifically for technicians who are already qualified in Gel Polish and only want to add the Gel-X system to their service menu.
-
-
