Course Overview
Course Details & Objectives
AMG's professional pedicure course develops the knowledge, precision and client care required for cosmetic foot and toenail grooming. You will learn to consult respectfully, assess service suitability, prepare a hygienic workstation and perform conservative nail, cuticle and superficial hard-skin care on suitable feet.
Training considers the needs of men who spend long periods in work boots, closed footwear or sports shoes, and clients seeking comfortable, presentable feet with a natural finish. The course emphasises objective observation, informed consent and knowing when to modify, defer or refer a service.
You will explore the AMG 30-minute professional maintenance pedicure and 60-minute luxury pedicure, including exfoliation, foot masks, warm towels, single-client paraffin and relaxation massage when suitable. Finishing skills include natural buff and shine, with clear or coloured polish as additional options. These timings describe client treatments rather than course training hours.
Who This Course Is For
This course is relevant to men's grooming, beauty and salon professionals looking to develop pedicure skills or expand their cosmetic foot-care services. It also offers focused learning for students interested in professional pedicure practice and a respectful men's grooming experience.
Course Learning Resources
Learning is supported by AMG's 16-module student manual, illustrated anatomy and technique guidance, consultation and suitability form, timed service protocols and module review questions. Resources also include decision tables, a quick referral matrix, station checklist, glossary and further reading.
