Pedicure that is wellness and care at the same time

Questions and answers

Pedicure training teaches the following skills:

  • Practical work on the feet
  • Care of the nails and skin on the foot
  • Correct nail shortening and shaping
  • Removing the hard skin
  • Care of pressure points
  • Handling and working with foot care equipment

The learning objectives in a pedicure course are as follows:

  • organize their workplace and work independently
  • Assessing findings as part of foot care and providing simple advice on foot problems
  • have expertise in treatment and quality assurance
  • Demonstrate methodological competence in manual and instrumental work techniques as well as in process-oriented interpretation and action
  • Demonstrate self-competence in independent, client-oriented action as well as discretion and a manner appropriate to the situation
After extensive training in pedicure, you will be able to work independently, both as an employee and as a freelancer. This means that you can also open your own podiatry practice if you feel confident that you can handle this task. You should bear in mind that in addition to comprehensive training, experience is also important in order to be able to offer professional cosmetic foot care. If possible, you should therefore first work in a pedicure studio and gain the necessary experience before starting your own business.
The content of a pedicure seminar varies depending on the provider. The following is a list of some of the key points that you will usually learn during such training:
  • Anatomy of the foot
  • Cutting, filing and treating toenails
  • Callus removal
  • Nail fold cleaning
  • Introduction to foot massage
  • Nail diseases
  • Lacquering techniques
  • Care
  • Hygiene
  • Product and instrument knowledge

Training in the field of pedicure is not usually aimed at any particular professional group and therefore has no or only very limited participation requirements. However, some schools require participants to be at least 18 years old. Anyone wishing to train in the fields of cosmetic pedicure, nail design, permanent French pedicure, wellness pedicure or another specialty should above all enjoy working with people, be able to work with concentration and attention to detail, be hygienic and careful, have no fear of contact, even with severely deformed or unkempt feet and nails, be sociable and friendly, be able to work independently, be creative and customer-oriented.

The duration of a pedicure training course can vary from a few days to several months, depending on the school, previous training and course chosen.

Basic training in cosmetic foot care often only takes a few days. Depending on the provider and the offer, these may take place over one or two weekends or on a fixed weekday, or they can be divided up individually according to your wishes.

Continuing education, further training in a particular specialty, such as the B/S braces technique or permanent French pedicure, often only takes a few hours and usually takes place on a Saturday, so that you can attend it alongside your work.
