Your Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Tranquility Nails & Beauty Academy located?

We offer training in Hove and Eastbourne, providing welcoming, professional environments for you to learn and grow.

What is the difference between a CPD course and a diploma?

CPD courses are shorter, flexible, and focused on practical skills perfect for beginners or those adding treatments.

Diplomas are more in-depth, structured qualifications designed to prepare you for a full career in the beauty industry.

Do I need any previous experience to join a course?

No experience is needed for most of our CPD and diploma courses they are designed with beginners in mind. We’ll guide you step-by-step in a supportive environment.

Do I need to complete anything before my training day?

Yes, most courses include pre-course home study. This helps you build essential knowledge, so you arrive feeling confident and ready for your practical training.

Do I need to bring a model?

Yes, most courses require you to bring a model for your practical session. Some advanced courses may require two models, this will be clearly stated when you book.

What if I can’t find a model?

We recommend arranging your model in advance, but if you’re struggling, please contact us and we’ll do our best to support you.

What happens if I don’t feel confident after my course?

You’re always welcome back for a free recap session. We want you to leave feeling confident and supported, so you’ll have the opportunity to practise again and ask any questions.

Are kits included in your courses?

CPD courses: Kits are not included. However, we provide all products, tools, and equipment for your training day and guide you on what to purchase afterwards.

Diploma courses: A full product kit is included so you can practise at home and prepare for assessments.

Is electrical equipment included in my kit?

Electrical equipment is not included in diploma kits. However, it is fully available for you to use during your training at the academy, and we’ll guide you on what to purchase when you’re ready.

How long are your courses?

CPD courses are typically 1-day practical training plus home study

Diploma courses vary and are longer, more in-depth programmes

Will I receive a qualification?

Yes, upon successful completion you will receive a recognised qualification relevant to your course, helping you begin or progress your journey in the beauty industry.

Will I be insured after completing a course?

Yes CPD and diploma qualifications are insurable, but we always recommend checking with your chosen insurance provider for specific requirements.

What support do I get after my course?

Our support doesn’t end when your course does. You’ll have access to ongoing guidance, plus the option to return for a recap session if needed.

How do I book a course?

You can book directly through our website or contact us for guidance on choosing the right course for you we’re always happy to help.

Can I get funding for my course?

Yes, many of our diploma courses are eligible for funding through the Advanced Learner Loan, helping you spread the cost of your training.

What is the Advanced Learner Loan?

The Advanced Learner Loan is a government-backed loan designed to help adults fund further education courses, making it easier to invest in your future without paying upfront.

Who is eligible for the Advanced Learner Loan?

You may be eligible if you are:

  1. Aged 19 or over
  2. Living in the UK
  3. Enrolling on an eligible diploma course
Do I need to pay anything upfront?

In most cases, the loan covers your course fees, so there is little or nothing to pay upfront (depending on the course).

When do I start repaying the loan?

You only start repaying once you are earning above a certain income threshold. Repayments are based on your income, making it manageable and affordable.

Will taking a loan affect my credit score?

The Advanced Learner Loan does not depend on your credit score and will not affect it in the same way as traditional loans.

How do I apply for the loan?

Once you enrol on an eligible course, we will guide you through the application process step-by-step to make it simple and stress-free.

Can I apply for more than one loan?

Yes, you can apply for more than one Advanced Learner Loan for different eligible courses, depending on your circumstances.

I’m nervous about starting, will I be supported?

Absolutely. We pride ourselves on creating a calm, friendly, and encouraging environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to learning, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

Choosing Tranquility Nails & Beauty Academy was the best decision I’ve ever made. It completely kick-started my career and honestly changed my life. Being autistic, I was worried I might struggle, but I didn’t. I felt supported from day one, made the most beautiful friendships, and learnt so much more than I ever expected. I qualified in July 2025 and just 6 months later I have my own clients, my own little business, and I’m loving it more than ever. If you’re thinking about training here, do it. It’s been the most positive and confidence-boosting experience, and I’m so grateful for everything they helped me achieve 🩷

I started the level 3 nail technician course in may! I went into this course not knowing a single thing regarding nails/applications and come out in July with a qualification knowing everything even nail structure! . The teaching was super informative and easy to learn from! The sign up/enrolment is manageable as well so not super differcut like normal enrolment is☺️ I now have my own mobile nail technician business with paying clients because of tranquility academy so thank you to Katy and my tutor Olivia 🙌

I have joined tranquility nails and beauty academy for the beauty therapy and nail tech courses I have recently completed both and I am so glad that I made the choice to do them. Being a new mum I wanted to be able to work around my son. Every day at the academy was enjoyable and the support from Kate, Terri and Olivia was just outstanding, the time they spend helping students and the kind atmosphere really made it for me. Another Great thing About this place is that the courses run in different time slots making them more accessible for parents and those who work full time. Thank you for the opportunity and helping me to gain all the new skills which I have acquired. Looking forward to doing more training with you soon, for anyone debating learning something new, don't put it off. it could be one of the best achievements you can make for you future career.

Today, the wonderful Carla did a time out with tranquillity and a lash lift for me. The facial was absolutely amazing, using high-quality products. My skin is glowing and feels incredible. You also get a head ,shoulders, and back massage with this treatment, and it was out of this world. Carla seems to have healing hands. Throughly recommend! I have straight, non-existent lashes, but after a lash lift, my natural lashes look long and beautiful. Thank you so much
