About this course

A high-demand service
clients rebook consistently

Pedicure is one of the most consistently requested beauty services — booked seasonally, returned to regularly, and tipped generously when the experience is genuinely good. This course teaches you to deliver it to a professional standard, with the depth of knowledge to handle different client needs safely and confidently.

The day moves through theory and hands-on practice together. You'll cover the full range of pedicure techniques — from essential hygiene and foot anatomy through to massage, hard skin removal and premium finishing touches. Whether you're starting from scratch or adding pedicure to an existing menu, you'll work on a live model and leave with a qualification you can insure from the same day.

You leave with an ABT-accredited certificate, a full professional kit and the confidence to start taking bookings straight away.

01
Foot anatomy & structure
Understanding the bones, joints, skin layers and common conditions that affect the foot — the foundation for every safe and effective pedicure decision.

Hygiene & infection control
Sterilisation, sanitation and professional working standards — the non-negotiables that protect your clients and your reputation from day one.
03
Client consultation & contra-indications
How to take a professional brief, identify contra-indications and adapt your service safely for every client — including diabetic clients.
04
Nail shaping & cuticle care
Toenail filing, shaping techniques and precise cuticle work — the skills that separate a professional finish from a home treatment.

Exfoliation techniques
Foot scrubs, exfoliation tools and techniques that improve skin texture and prepare the foot for treatment — essential for a premium result.
06
Hard skin & callus removal
Safe, effective removal of hard skin and callus using professional tools — the technique clients seek out and return for specifically.
07
Cracked heel treatment
Treating and improving severely dry or cracked heels — a specialist skill that opens higher-value treatment options on your menu.
08
Foot & lower leg massage
Professional massage technique using the correct movements and pressure — consistently the part of the appointment clients mention most.
09
Gel polish on toes
Application, curing and finishing gel colour on toenails — a high-demand add-on that increases appointment value and client satisfaction.

Luxury upgrades
Premium add-on options that elevate the service and give you the tools to offer tiered pricing and attract higher-spending clients.

Understanding your kit, how to choose products and how to advise clients on what to use at home between appointments.
