Hi ive recently completed my vrq lvl 2 nail technology and would now like to learn beauty therapy. As it stands its unlikely i can get funding to do this in college as i have already covered all but 3 of the units.
A private beauty academy has offered me a placement, where i attend their half day courses in the units i require (facial skincare, eye treatments etc) and instead of paying for them i work one day a week in their salon. I understand you cant perfect your technique for any treatment in 3 hours, but as id be there for at least 6 months i would be getting plenty of practice!
My only concern is that the courses only provide in house certificates. I understand these arent nationally recognised like an nvq is and id struggle to find work in a salon, but that doesnt bother me too much as i want to be self employed. What i was wondering is if it is possible to get insured with a qualification that has not been accreditted? And if i will struggle to get trade accounts from suppliers with them? For example would the likes of dermalogica refuse to sell me their proffesional only products if my course wasnt accredited?
Sorry if this has been posted before, didnt find anything relevant when i searched xx
