To make the most of your in-person training, all TWENTY Academy courses include a mandatory online pre-study module. This has been designed for you to complete at home, in your own time, before attending your practical training day.

Why Pre-Study Matters

The pre-study ensures that when you arrive at the Academy, you’re ready to go straight into hands-on, practical training. It covers all the essential theory you need—so that your in-person day can focus entirely on developing your skills at the desk.

Who Needs to Complete It?

Every student. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a qualified nail tech, the pre-study module is a requirement for all courses.

• Beginners: This will be your first introduction to nail anatomy, product knowledge, safety and hygiene.
  
• Qualified techs: Think of it as a refresher and a test of your knowledge—it's always good to revisit the basics, especially when learning new systems or techniques.
  

When Is It Due?

All pre-study must be fully completed no later than 7 days before the start of your in-person training.

This gives your educator time to review your progress and ensures you arrive confident and prepared.
