Hi Night Owl, I was in exactly the same position as you recently and I couldn't quite believe it either! You're absolutely right, one day courses do seem to be the norm. I was really shocked a couple of weeks ago to see one of the major companies advertise a forthcoming course on their Facebook page - covering manicure AND pedicure - the course duration was just 3 and a half hours and the cost was £200. Unbelievable!

The only longer course I found in the private sector was run by Mavala - this was a 5 day course held in Sevenoaks, Kent. OPI run a 2 day course, with a follow-up assessment day a couple of weeks later. You mention Ellisons - they are actually quite good value, as you get the pedicure day free if you book the manicure day.

Other than that - try your local college, as suggested by Adamantine.

HTH
