Hi Claudia, wow, NVQ level 2 courses are expensive at York college! My local college charges £1k - £1.5k for L2 NVQs in Hair and Beauty (current prices), it's the level 3s that are £3k+.I did the L2 VTCT Nail Tech course privately 15 years ago, at the same time as doing my L2 NVQ Beauty at college. Both are awarded by City & Guilds. I did the Nail Tech at a local academy and paid around £200 back then. Be sure to find out the detail of what you will be learning, my VTCT was basic nail anatomy, nail prep, acrylic tip 'n' dip extensions and general polish application, rather than gels. I attended for six practical inhouse sessions and had to complete an at-home portfolio of another 12 sets of nails, before sitting a final timed practical assessment at the academy.The VTCT is absolutely fine on its own for you to work as a qualified nail tech, but the L2 NVQ Beauty will teach you gel polish application plus a lot of other treatments, which you may want to fall back on in the future as earning potential. There is a lot of competition out there in respect of 'gel nails only'.
