Girl Viking Portland Academy

Welcome to the Girl Viking Academy. I officially created the Girl Viking beauty academy this year, but I have been training people for years because I love passing on my knowledge and helping people build their own amazing careers in beauty. All of my small group courses (that you can see below) have been carefully designed to give you the skills and confidence to go out there and smash it! No previous experience necessary.

​

​

​

After each course you will:

​

Be fully accredited (BAAS*) if you pass the evaluation which means you can apply for insurance so you can set up on your own!

Receive a certificate following your practical evaluation with discussion (part of the course, no tests!)

Receive a course manual 

Receive business advice and top tips from insurance to advertising

Access help and support via a private page on GV's Facebook page and GV WhatsApp group

Post course advice (feedback on two of your beauty treatments carried out following training)

Testimonials

Marsha

" When I attended the classic lash course I was extremely nervous, but Nina settled my nerves straight away with her positive vibes and attitude!

​

She was very thorough with her information, and able to answer any questions I had. I was given all the information to take with me for future reference, which was brilliant.

​

When it was time for the practical, Nina was amazing, boosting my confidence to the highest level ever and I passed with flying colours.

​

Nina was always on hand if I needed any questions answered after the course!

I highly recommend and want do a gel nail course with her."
