A company called Nail Technician Courses or NTC are not accredited as they claim (I spoke directly with ABT who they advise they are accredited by) and they are trying to {Removed by Forum team} people out of money with questionable reviews and a course that is not professionally accredited.

    The problem is OP that most regulars on this forum already know about the scams - your warning should also be posted on all the social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter (not being a user of any, I'm sure there are more).

    Oh wow, just seen this as it's worse than I thought! Liquidating companies is always a terrible sign. I hope people looking for courses do their homework because this company won't end well if they are such bad business people they are having to liquidate.

    It is just awful you are allowed to just keep ripping people off after dissolving and liquidating companies. Their morals must be lower than their business acumen!
  • Me and my friend have completed a course with NTC and we absolutely loved it. I had booked my course 5 months in advance and was a little worried about getting into nails. I called ABT to check their accreditation and ABT confirmed that they are fully accredited and a reputable company. When I got in for the course in London the trainer Amy was so lovely and I really enjoyed it. At first I did not think eeverything coud be taught in 3 days but I was so wrong. The course was intense but I am so happy with everything I learnt. I've started doing nails on my friends and family and they are loving my work. I don't know why someone has wrote the false review above. I HIGHLY recommend NTC Nail Technician Courses they are amazing!

    Well.
    Here we have 2 very different statements about the accreditation of this company.
    Of course, it could be that they weren't accredited in October 2019 when the OP checked and have become accredited since then.
    Who to believe...?
    Of course, one could always follow the 3rd link in the post by hollydays to see the status of the companies...
    And using stock photos on their website?
    Why would a reputable company need to do that?

    Why would a reputable company need to do that?
    More to the point, why would another customer think the review is fake rather than just a bad experience. Which just makes it worse because no genuine company would have to resort to posting as a fake customer to try and deal with complaints. 

    Even if they're genuine, having had their whole 3 days of training, they are now expert enough to be able to say that they learned everything they needed to learn in those 3 days. 

    I wouldn't let them within 20ft of my nails.

    Latest comment from a review about them "The list of products she gave us were also ones that you can’t really purchase in the uk, only in Romania which obviously isn’t very helpful.". Got to say the link to Romania is one that concerns me.Knowing what I know about nail bars ..
