“I've seen a lot and learned on my own about "baby boomer" foot/hands conditions. But since we were not allowed to work with specific conditions, I decided to become a medi-pedi specialist. I was doing research online and found Nail Care Academy. I’m definitely more confident now in what I want to do and in how I want to use this new knowledge. I`m not done yet. I have a few more courses to go.”

Nailcare Academy is more than just a class, but a movement. A community of nail technicians that see the bigger picture when it comes to providing safe pedicures for people that have health concerns. NuFeet would not be what it is today if it wasn't for my start with Nailcare Academy."

"The NCA ANT/MNT program has been the foundation of my business. It has allowed me to create a space in the nail industry that has people seeking our services (with no marketing) to the point of having to hire help. This program speaks directly to us as Nail Techs and as professionals. This program has allowed me to create a very comfortable living without working myself to death. This was an easy to understand and follow self pace course that gave me all that I needed to be one of the best in this industry...I love what I do!... Thank you NCA!"

Apryl Moore, MNT

"I decided that i needed more knowledge after doing 3 pedicure and noticed that something abnormal was happening with them. I decided I really needed more training about nail diseases and disorders (2 had runners' toes and it was the first time I was seeing it; I didn't know what was the cause of it.) I'm very happy with the investment because I have more confidence doing pedicures and I can educate my clients about their feet health."
