Twenty Pro Approved Academy & Online Course Updates!

It’s been a little while since my last post, fast forward a few months and I now have not only a 4 year old but a 7 month old too! There has been lots going on and amongst the chaos and fun of family life the GAA has been undergoing some big developments which I thought it would be a good time to share.

Firstly, further courses have now been inspected and accredited with CA giving you more of a broader choice of beauty treatments to train in, our in person 1:1 courses now include flexible training for students with busy lifestyles be it other commitments/ children - I know first hand how tricky judging work-life can be. This involves 1-2hr sessions over a 4-6 week period in the courses of your choice, perfect for students who are unable to take full days to train out of day to day life.

I am in the process of planning for a larger training space - More details to come regarding this!

Online Accredited Courses-

You may have noticed a few design updates on the website making access to courses much easier and user - friendly. Currently there are only a couple of short workshops uploaded however, I have been working hard behind the scenes and am excited to share that I will soon be opening my online worldwide accredited courses including Gel Polish, Builder Gel, Pedicure, Facial treatments with more to come! These courses are in-depth with a mixture of presentation, video content, E-portfolio work and more and follow the same methods of training I use for in person sessions making these perfect for students wishing to learn at a distance. I will be sharing across our socials when they go live!

Finally I’m super excited to share I’m now a Twenty Pro approved educator! Twenty are a Gel Polish brand that are vegan, cruelty free, made in the UK and have their own HEMA free collection. I love the ethics behind this brand and have always found their colour selection, product longevity and wide range of not only gets but builder gel amazing. Going forward this will be the brand used within The Gel Art Academy and the products I will be including in student kits. Check out their website to see why I love them so!

For now these are the updates of 2025, I’m sure there will be more to come. I can’t wait to continue training and see where my students

go in their careers!
