Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior experience to enrol in this course?
No prior experience is required. This is a beginner course designed to take you from complete newcomer to job-ready nail technician. You will start with the fundamentals - nail anatomy, health and safety, product knowledge - before moving into practical application. Many of our students have never held a nail file before starting.
What products and equipment do I need if I purchase the manual-only version?
To complete the practical components and earn your certificate, you will need access to the Planet Vogue system. This includes Planet Vogue Soft Gel Extension Tips, Lastik Stick and Stay Gel, adhesion promoters, a UV/LED lamp, an e-file, and standard nail preparation tools. Please refer to the full kit version of this course for a complete product list, or contact us at planetnails.com.au before purchasing so we can advise you on what to source.
Can I purchase this course if I am based outside of Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. The manual-only version of this course is available to students worldwide. Your printed training manual will be shipped to your international address via Australia Post. Shipping times and fees will vary by destination. Please note that the full kit version of the course is only available to students in Australia and New Zealand.
How long does it take to complete the course?
The online modules are fully self-paced, so completion time varies. Most students work through the 25 video modules over several weeks, then complete their 2 practical sets on models. You have 12 months from the date of purchase to complete everything - online modules and practical assessment included.
What qualification do I receive when I complete the course?
Upon successful completion of your online modules and practical assessment, you are awarded an industry-recognised qualification in Soft Gel Extensions from Planet Nails Training Academy. Your certificate is available to download directly from the training platform once your assessment has been passed.
Is BIAB included in this course, or is it a separate purchase?
BIAB is fully included at no extra cost. Because Planet Vogue extensions use Lastik - our BIAB gel - as their foundation, the course covers both services in full. The BIAB module is a complete, in-depth program covering natural nail overlays, tip overlays, infills, and how to migrate clients from soft gel extensions to BIAB. It is not a taster or overview - it is a full second service built into the same course.
When do I get access to the online training platform?
Access to the online training platform is granted once your printed training manual has been dispatched. Manuals are dispatched Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm AEST. International shipping times will vary by destination - you will receive a dispatch notification when your manual has been sent.
How is this course different from other soft gel extension courses available online?
Planet Nails Training Academy developed the Planet Vogue system. This is the original, educator-led course taught directly by the Planet Nails team.
