What You'll Learn on This E-File Course

An e-file (electric nail drill) makes prep, shaping and product removal faster and more precise, but only when you use it safely. This online e-file course teaches you how, step by step, in 55 video lessons with a short quiz after each topic.

What the course covers

  • How e-files work, the parts of a nail drill, and how to choose the right machine
  • Holding and handling the e-file correctly, and using it safely on clients
  • Understanding RPM: which speed to use for which job
  • Drill bits explained: mandrels and sanding bands, carbide, diamond and ceramic bits
  • Grit colour coding, so you always pick the right bit
  • Cleaning, disinfecting and maintaining your bits and machine
  • PPE for nail technicians, including dust and eye protection

Who this course is for

Nail technicians who already offer gel, BIAB or acrylic and want to work faster and more safely, and newer techs who want to learn the e-file properly from the start rather than picking up bad habits. It pairs well with our BIAB course, Beginner Gel course and acrylic nail course.

Why learn the e-file

Used correctly, an e-file can cut the time you spend on removals and infills, so you can fit more clients into your day. Learning the right bit, speed and angle also protects your clients' natural nails, which keeps them coming back.

Course and drill options

You can take the course on its own for €100, or for €230 with the NSI Supreme brushless nail drill. Buying the drill with the course is the best value, as buying it separately later costs more once VAT and delivery are added.

Certification and insurance

The course is accredited by AIT (Associated Irish Therapists) and ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists). Once you complete the course and pass your case studies, you receive your accredited certificate and can apply for professional insurance. Requirements vary between insurers, so confirm with your chosen provider before you start treating clients.
