The people who then do the training with a company that is not accredited then they themselves cannot get insured. Well thats what I thought until I read this thread.

The government will always come out with stupid bylaws that make no sense to create stumbling blocks in us setting up or running a salon yet they don't give two hoots about whether or not someone is properly qualified to do what they say.

I could not run a restaurant or takeaway without being inspected or doing a food hygiene cert every year but I can run a salon that could equally cause problems.

With this in mind the government should surely have some guidelines in place to ensure all teachers have updated experience and training in their field. Although I am sure if one of us set up a Training Centre to teach brain surgery we may very well raise a few eyebrows.
