TGB Academy

Great trainer Very helpful and informative.

This is an amazing course, as a mature student over 50 years of age, learning a new skill for the first time, Sharon is fantastic! She is very welcoming, extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, she takes time to sit with you and show you, which for me was the greatest help I needed. I loved all of the 3 days to do the full course. I would definitely say without a doubt book Sharon as your tutor she is an absolute super star!

I've just completed my 3 day gel course with Sue and I can honestly say, I've enjoyed every minute! Sue was patient and really knowledgeable. The class was small so we had plenty of time with the tutor. No question was too silly and she made me feel very comfortable. Sue explained things in a way I could easy understand. I'm already desperate to do another course with her! I would recommend this course to everyone! Thanks Sue x

Having done the The Full Gel Bottle Course with Nat, I came back to do the Efile course. Her methods of in person training are super easy to follow and the days of training go at a pace that everyone can enjoy. All my questions regarding any queries were quickly answered, followed by a visual demonstration, which I found super helpful. Love her studio and location. Would definitely love to learn more with her. ????

Cecile is an amazing instructor, who explains (and demonstrates) everything so clearly. I absolutely loved the whole of the 3 day course, would highly recommend to everyone and anyone. The whole atmosphere of the TGB NZ training & distribution centre in Papamoa is amazing. Everyone was so friendly, the facilities were great, and as for the food?!?! Unbelievably good. Cecile & Michanne, please do some other courses so I can come back!! You ladies are amazing x

I completed the full gel bottle course with Jodie and I am so happy I decided to do so. Jodie is super amazing at what she does, it felt like I did a whole week course with how much I learnt. I feel confident in doing nails and iv only just started. I’m still learning from Jodie along the way. The gel bottle products are so easy to work with. I plan to do many more courses with Jodie in the future !!

I found this course to be quite tricky initially, however with not only one way of creating extensions and with plenty of time to put both into practice throughout the day, I did manage to create multiple styles and shapes using the Gel Extension techniques. I think this is such an important skill to gain as a nail tech, as Nat quite rightly told us, that even if we don’t want to do extensions all the time, if a bride were to approach me wanting her nails done but closer to her day, a nail breaks, being able to repair that broken nail with an extension so they all match will be an excellent service to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed this course.
