Frequently asked

On average €40–60 per 45-minute treatment. Side-job with 8 clients/week: €1,200–1,600/month is realistic. Full-time self-employed: €3,000–5,000/month is achievable. You recoup the bundle (€890) within roughly 4–6 weeks of part-time work.

Yes. Over 60% of our graduates had never held scissors to a foot before. Lessons are split into 5–15-minute bites, you learn at your own pace. Birgit answers every question personally. If after 14 days it doesn't fit — full money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Yes. Try the course completely for 14 days — watch all lessons, download all PDFs, message Birgit. If even one thing doesn't fit, just say so. You get everything back, no questions, no justification. The guarantee ends as soon as you download your certificate.

Individual modules are €380 (A & B) and €280 (C). The complete bundle is €890 instead of €1,040, payable in three installments of €297 (about €7.42/day over 4 months — less than a coffee). All prices include VAT.

On average 4 months per module — but you set your pace. Some students finish in 6 weeks, others take 6 months. You have 6 months' access and learn at your own pace during this time.

Not necessarily. For mobile services, a treatment kit is enough. If you work from your own room, basic hygiene standards apply — we cover everything in the course.

For Module A: nail scissors, file, pumice stone, foot bath — usually already at home. Module B adds a foot drill (from about €250). Up to 10% discount with our partner suppliers.

Yes — most of our graduates start part-time. You can register a side business, taxes stay simple, and you build a client base alongside your main job.

After Module B you receive the "Specialist Pedicure" certificate (written exam). Module C adds "Specialist Pedicure per Medical Guidelines". Both qualify you to register a business.

No. The entire training is online. Optionally you can take a practical exam on-site, by Zoom or WhatsApp (€178.50 incl. VAT).

Podology is a regulated medical profession with 2-year full-time training (€10,000–15,000) for treating diseased feet. Our training is cosmetic pedicure — online, faster, much cheaper. Both professions complement each other but are legally separate.

Professional liability insurance (often from €80/year) is recommended. We provide a checklist of insurers who specialize in pedicure businesses.

You can message Birgit directly anytime — there's also a monthly live Q&A on Instagram (public, free). Replies within 24 h on business days.

4 months is the average for our graduates, based on 5–8 hours of study per week. Some finish in 6 weeks (full-time focus), others take 8 months (3 h/week between job and family) — both are fine. You have 6 months' access. Important point: you don't have to wait the full 4 months to start — after 2–3 weeks you can practice on friends.

Many graduates experienced this initially. Three things that help: (1) Talk about the process, not the goal — "I'm testing this with the money-back guarantee" sounds safer than "I'm becoming a pedicurist". (2) Treat someone from your circle for free — enthusiasm convinces more than arguments. (3) Show concrete numbers from the earnings calculator — this often convinces skeptical partners.

You don't have to quit — almost all our graduates start part-time. You build clients alongside your main job until you feel confident. Only then do you reduce hours or resign. It doesn't get any safer. In Module B we cover this question in detail.

All lessons are bite-sized (5–15 min per video). If anything is unclear, just message Birgit — replies within 24 h. The platform works on any device (phone, tablet, laptop). No technical knowledge required. If you still feel overwhelmed, you have the 14-day money-back guarantee, no reason needed.

Yes, explicitly. While most of our graduates are women, the curriculum itself is gender-neutral. Men entering the field (often nurses, sports physiotherapists, lifeguards) are very welcome. You'll find a male testimonial in the reviews section. Birgit answers all questions gender-neutrally.

All 19 lessons have professional subtitles in German, English, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Arabic — switchable in the video player. The 50-word technical glossary (anamnesis, hyperkeratosis, treatment kit …) is also available as a PDF in each language. The entire website navigation, checkout, invoices and certificate are available in all 6 languages. Birgit answers inquiries in German or English; if needed, she connects you with graduates who speak your native language.

Yes, very well. Over 25% of residents in Germany have a migration background — many prefer practitioners who speak their native language or know cultural customs (e.g. women-to-women treatment). Here you learn in your preferred language and can look up German technical terms in parallel via the glossary. More guidance on residence permits and multi-language practice setup at /zielgruppe/migrantinnen.

In principle yes — a residence permit with work authorization allows business registration. With Duldung or Aufenthaltsgestattung, an additional approval from the immigration office is needed. We can't verify this ourselves — please consult your authority or a migration counselling service (e.g. Diakonie, Caritas) before purchasing. If unsure, use the 14-day money-back guarantee.

Our certificate confirms the training you completed with us — it's not automatically a state-recognized credential in every country. In Poland and Turkey, cosmetic pedicure is a free profession, similar to Germany; business registration with our certificate is usually straightforward. In Russia and Arab countries the situation varies. If you plan to work outside the EU, please check local regulations before purchase.
