CND has unveiled an online education program for nail professionals with a full curriculum based on its core education techniques and principles. Launching in the U.S. on September 1, CNDU offers three unique educational paths (gel, liquid-and-powder, and color and trend classes) for an all-inclusive course of study. In November, CND will launch a school version of the program for use as an interactive learning platform in its partner schools.
“In today’s digital world, CNDU is the natural next step in our support of the professional nail community in order to ultimately elevate the consumer experience in the salon,” says CND cofounder and style director Jan Arnold. “This pro-only program will offer nail professionals true accessibility to a comprehensive online learning experience for the first time. Our partner schools will also benefit from CNDU.”
Bellus Academy, a pioneer in online education for beauty professionals, will partner with CND as the exclusive product provider for CNDU professional courses in the U.S. Bellus Academy will donate a portion of its profits to the Beauty Changes Lives (BCL) Foundation, a non-profit organization created by the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) to build awareness of the extraordinary career opportunities available in the beauty and wellness industry and award scholarships to individuals pursuing cosmetology careers.
