About the course

Understand the cause.
Choose the right approach.

Perhaps some of these situations feel familiar...

  • You don’t always understand why hyperkeratosis returns, even after a well-performed procedure. It can be difficult to determine which approach will be the safest and most effective.
  • You want to understand the causes of calluses and fissures - not just treat their visible signs.
  • You want to work with greater confidence while clearly understanding the boundaries of your professional scope.
If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, this course was created for you.

By the end of the course, you will understand how different types of hyperkeratosis develop, learn to analyze the underlying causes, build a clear treatment approach, and confidently guide clients on appropriate aftercare.

Each module includes several in-depth video lessons, practical recommendations, real-world examples from professional practice, and additional materials to help you confidently apply what you learn in your daily work.

  • Small groups of 3–4 students

How to prepare and what to expect

In-person practice is the final stage of training for students in the Premium package. It takes place after you have studied the course materials and independently put your knowledge into practice.

  1. Stage 1. Complete the course

    Complete all course modules and study the theoretical materials, working protocols, and recommendations covered in the program.

  2. Stage 2. Independent practice

    After completing the course, independently apply what you have learned by working with at least 15 models or clients.

    The goal is not simply to perform a procedure, but to analyze each case and apply the protocols taught in the course.

  3. Stage 3. Prepare for in-person practice

    After completing 15 practical cases, submit:

    • Before-and-after photos of your work.
    • A list of questions that arose while studying the course.
    • Questions that came up while working with models or clients.
    • Descriptions of cases where you encountered difficulties or were unsure which approach to use.

    We review these materials in advance to identify the topics and practical skills that need further attention and prepare an in-person practice day that makes the best use of your time.

  4. Stage 4. Schedule your practice day

    After receiving and reviewing your photos and questions, LINEL Academy assistants will contact you and offer an available date for your practice day.

    Practice days take place on Sundays because the salon serves clients on the other days of the week.

    Sessions are held in small groups of no more than 3–4 students, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

    You can be scheduled for a practice day only after completing all 15 practical cases and submitting the required materials.

  5. Stage 5. Your in-person practice day

    Based on the work and questions submitted in advance, we select models and practical cases for the group that allow us to thoroughly address the areas students found challenging.

    Our goal is not simply to repeat the techniques from the course, but to work through the real questions that arose when you put your knowledge into practice.

    During the practice day, we review your work, analyze mistakes, discuss how to choose an approach in different situations, and develop the necessary skills directly on models.

    You therefore arrive with a solid foundation of knowledge and your own experience applying it. The practice day becomes the next stage of your training: deepening your understanding, refining your technique, and strengthening your professional skills.
