Insurance

[shahildar]

Hey;

I know that this has probably been posted before so i apologize in advance;

But i did my training through a home based company DW Beauty;

I messaged the Guild and i am so upset that they wont accept the training and insure me;

I need insurance asap and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on who to go to for the best. I would be nails and beauty.

Thanks in advance hunnies x

Contact the company you trained with and ask them who has accredited their course and who will provide insurance.

If your course is NOT accredited, then, I'm afraid, you have wasted your money :-(

They own an accreditation company; DW Beautec

But as for customer service they have blocked and threatened me so i cant contact them at all. :(

Hence the reason i thought my fellow geeks could help :)

Blocked and threatened you, what on earth did you do? Only Jokin.:lol:

Sounds a bit suspicious to me hun. Have you tried any other insurance companies like Salon Gold?? If you explain everything to them and that they own their own accreditation company and they still wont except it i would say maybe the company you trained with arent doing things 100% legally maybe?
Obviously i cant be certain but it doesnt sound very professional! I hope you find a solution.

Just had a look on their website and they say;

''We help you with insurance as once you have completed your Course with us we work with 3 insurers who can offer you a year’s insurance for less than £35!''

So why did they stop you calling, can you not use another number and get in touch to see where they recommend you get insured.
Call salon gold and other insurers and ask why they can't accept you and what they feel is wrong with their accreditation methods. Then contact the educators and tell them your findings xoxo

Yeah i know my point exactly ive been told that i have my head up my arse and all sorts of them :(

Ive done everything to try and get the support i wanted and they havent followed up on there promises just like the kits for 20-30 sets of nails ... Nothing didnt receive anything and then after she blocked me she offered another girl a sample pack as the kit not enough for 20-30 nails

Anywhoo ive tried a quote on salon gold and there really reasonable .. So i think ill ring and go with them :)

Thankyou ladies

Oh and the situation is still ongoing im in touch with consumer direct etc so upset thought :(

Sorry, but I think you will need to retrain with a properly accredited training provider. If you were actually trained well, it shouldn't take long to become re-qualified.

Additionally, contact your local trading standards and ask them to investigate the matter for you.

Legally in the UK, anyone can set up as a training provider and set up a second company to provide bogus accreditation. However, if UK insurance companies do not recognise this training, even if it was of a decent quality, it is still essentially worthless unless you are only practising on yourself.

You should always thoroughly research the credentials on any training provider, and who has accredited them. Also, check that the professional body HAS accredited them and it's not just a bogus link.

Thanks for the reply but i dont need to retrain... Thankfully bee in touch with abt and salon gold and they both recognise the certificates :)

Its just a shame the company i trained with turned out to be mean...

Ive getting what i needed the training/certs and wont be contacting them again after the threats

We learn from our mistakes and this is one of mine :)
