We're forever seeing posts on here from therapists doing short courses, many with little contact time, but online info and lots of literature.
Therapists taking these courses justify it with "I can get insured" or "we can't all go to college 5 days a week". I also see a lot of "what's the best course that's cheap as possible within 5 miles of my house? ".
In any other profession, these courses would be null and void but in a profession that struggles with poor perception of the intelligence of the people carrying out beauty treatments, are we becoming a joke because some insurance companies will insure anything?
I'm interested in what everyone thinks. Whether you agree that distance courses are worth doing or that, like me, you think that if it's worth doing, do it properly. Come out with a qualification that is recognised by EVERY insurance company and that is worth the paper it's written on.
Apologies to those of you that now want to lynch me!
