Food for thought peeps!
How many of you check the credentials of those you book courses with? Do you take their word for it or do you check to see what they are saying is true?
The reason I ask is because in the last year or so there have been more and more therapists entering the world of training, either for a company or on their own and good for them in that. Trouble is they seem to spend less and less time in the business before jumping to become trainers.
How much experience would you like to see your educators have in the particular subject you wish to train in?
Do you think that it is important that they actually make a living from their work or is it ok to have a full time job and only do their beauty part time in the evenings and weekends? Would you be able to take business advice from someone who has not worked their beauty/nails/hair as a business?
For those of you who have attended private training courses, how much research have you done before attending or do you just take the word of the trainer as to when he/she started in the industry and that they actually qualified in the particular subject?
There have been a few threads on here recently about geeks attending courses that were not even accredited but I have come across trainers in my time that either didn't have the experience they say they have or have exaggerated their experience or worse still did a day course and a little while later set up as a trainer. The importance to check credentials is paramount to you getting the right training and knowing you can trust who you are paying your hard earned money to.
So how many of you do your homework?:wink2:
