To be honest you should really try and offer both systems as not everyone's nails only suit L&P (Acrylic) or Gel.
If you do a foundation course with CND it will train you in L&P you were able to add a Gel day on to the course, as the Education is changing with CND at the moment Im not sure if this still applies.
A few people do the Foundation Class then wait a few months until they are competent with the system before going and doing an Introduction to Brisa (Gel).
I personally trained with L&P and a 5 moths later won to do a Gel course, my clients are now 50/50 l&p/Brisa.
I see your in Scotland what I suggest is you give the wonderful girls at The Fingertips Centre Newbridge Edinburgh 0131 333 3180 a call and they will give you all the information about the classes.
