Hello and welcome to CJP education, our training website! My name is Jemma Porch and around 16 years ago I enrolled on a local college course to learn nails, I was a teenage mum and thought it would be an easy option! How wrong was I!…..learning to do nails isn’t a skill that everyone is blessed with, BUT with the right guidance and educator they can make the impossible possible. Click Here for more about CJP
