This cohort is aimed at teens and near teens age 11+. Our courses are open to all young people, including those who are home educated, in mainstream school, or who access education via an alternative provision.
 
This mixed delivery course starts on 1st May 2026.  There are 10 sessions in total and the first 4 of these sessions are live online (same time each week) via zoom with the last 6 sessions completed using pre-recorded sessions.  
 
If you have a group of your own that you would like to experience the course, dedicated only to your group, please get in touch.  
 
If a learner successfully completes all parts of their portfolio they will receive the Silver Arts Award in Nail Art (a nationally recognised level 2 qualification from Trinity College, London).  Nail it and Thrive is the first and only provider of this Arts Award Course in Nail Art.
