Professional Manicure & Pedicure Certification

Build a strong foundation in professional manicure and pedicure services with Nove Academy’s comprehensive combination course. Designed for beginners, this modular training delivers the essential knowledge, techniques, and confidence needed to perform safe, effective, and high-quality hand and foot services in today’s beauty industry.

Whether you are expanding your current service offerings or entering the industry with a focused skill set, this program provides industry-relevant training that prepares you to work with real clients. You will learn not only how to perform services, but how to understand client needs, maintain safety standards, and deliver a professional experience from start to finish.

This course combines structured theory with hands-on practical training to ensure you develop both knowledge and technical ability. Each service is taught through guided, step-by-step instruction, with opportunities to practice, refine, and build confidence under professional supervision.

A strong emphasis is placed on sanitation, disinfection, and infection prevention, ensuring all services meet professional standards. You will also develop a clear understanding of nail anatomy, common diseases and disorders, and contraindications, allowing you to work safely, recognize limitations, and make informed service decisions.

Practical training focuses on both basic and spa-level manicure and pedicure services. You will learn proper nail and cuticle care, exfoliation techniques, massage application, and complete service flow, along with elevated treatments such as paraffin. The program also includes training in UV-cured polish application—one of the most in-demand services in modern salons.

To further support your understanding of client care, the course includes introductory theory in areas such as reflexology concepts and considerations for diabetic and geriatric clients. This foundational knowledge helps you approach services more thoughtfully and professionally within your scope of practice.
Beyond technical skills, you will develop consultation techniques, problem-solving abilities, and professional communication—key elements in building client trust and delivering a high-quality experience. Business insights and industry expectations are also introduced to help you understand how these services translate into real-world opportunities.

As a modular certification course, this program is designed to provide focused, efficient training while maintaining a high standard of education. You will leave with practical, usable skills and the confidence to begin offering manicure and pedicure services immediately.
