zum Nageldesigner

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

German to English translations [PRO] Cosmetics, Beauty / Nail design course
German term or phrase: zum Nageldesigner I am translating a certificate obtained by attending a nail design course. In summary, the contents are as below: Nageldesign Zertifikat Hiermit bestätigen wir Frau (Name of holder) (D.O.B.) die erfolgreiche Teilnahme am Crashkurs in Geltechnik und Acryltechnik zum Nageldesigner I have currently translated "Nageldesigner" as "Nail Designer", but it looks a bit odd, so I am considering "Nail Technician". Also, and my key point, the "zum Nageldesigner" at the end is throwing me. My translation at present is as follows: Nail Design Certificate We hereby confirm that Ms. (Name of holder) D.O.B. Participated successfully in the crash course in gel and acrylic techniques.... But then what about the final "zum Nageldesigner"? I assume that it means that she can now use the title of "Nail Designer" or "Nail Technician", but I am not sure how to incorporate this. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? There is a second and very similar certificate, but instead of "Nageldesigner" the second one says "Nageldesignerausbilder". Again, I assume that she can now call herself a "Nail Technician Instructor", but not sure how to render the "zum Nageldesignerausbilder". Thanks if you can help!

Ramey Rieger (X) Germany By the way 17:10 Dec 10, 2014  instructor for nail art freekfluweel Netherlands nail technician = manicure 16:58 Dec 10, 2014  Perhaps today a manicure does deal with gel nails as well but was not primarily trained for this. Anne Bitton United Kingdom ASKER 16:52 Dec 10, 2014  Thanks. Nail artist should work. Nail technician appears to be quite common too, but I suppose nail artist goes well with "Design". Anne Bitton United Kingdom ASKER 16:51 Dec 10, 2014  Phil, there are two similar certificates. The first course is that of "Nageldesigner", the second is "Nageldesignerausbilder", so I was trying to render "Ausbilder" with instructor or trainer. I assume that the first qualification or accreditation is as a nail artist or technician, the second to teach other people how to be one (?) Wendy Streitparth Germany 14:41 Dec 10, 2014  Using freekfluweel's suggestion: ...participated in the nail artist crash course and successfully completed training in gel and acrylic techniques. freekfluweel Netherlands nail artist 14:27 Dec 10, 2014  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_art philgoddard United States 14:25 Dec 10, 2014  Why have you added the word "instructor"? Anne Bitton United Kingdom ASKER 14:11 Dec 10, 2014  OK, thanks. Yes, it certainly looked a bit odd to me. Klaus Conrad 14:07 Dec 10, 2014  Kurs zum xxx is not very common in German. It's taken from Ausbildung zum xxx, which means an education leading to a certificate or an exam. In English you would possibly say "nail designer course". Anne Bitton United Kingdom ASKER 14:07 Dec 10, 2014  Sorry to talk to myself here, but I have adapted as below and wonder whether this will do the trick? We hereby confirm that Ms. (Name of holder) Date of birth: xxxx Participated in the Nail Designer Instructor course and successfully completed training in gel and acrylic techniques Automatic update in 00:
