Hello all Geeks Just a 'heads up' that we have now released the full line-up of seminars at our TOTALLY FREE Roadshow (BEST) at Brighton, Sunday June 29th and Monday June 30th (in the Holiday Inn, opposite the old pier). We have 28, one-hour seminars from some great speakers on a range of...

"They can't charge you vast sums of money for something that doesn't mean you can get insurance and isn't a recognised qualification can they? Surely trading standards?" (FlorrieDee). Actually, they can! As there is no legal requirement to train, nor to qualify, nor to be certified, nor to...

Eeerrrrmmm... take a look at BABTAC.COM - The Official Site of the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology. That's exactly what we're doing! We've been to Leeds, the next show is 29/30 June in Brighton, and then on to Cambridge and Bristol. After that we go to Northern Ireland...

If it helps... BABTAC's policy covers you to teach (so long as you are suitably qualified) at no extra cost. Regards PHILIP SWINFORD Marketing Services Manager BABTAC

Can I just say that the point we make on our site (ie there being no requirement for qualification) is for the public - we suggest that THEY ask to see qualifications of ANY therapist to protect all you good people who are trained! PHILIP SWINFORD Marketing Services Manager BABTAC

Hi Calla I know it's a bit after-the-event, but we do have plans to list all our course providers on our website at some point soon - but with many hundreds of courses, it' not an easy thing to do in a way that an at-home surfer can access with a 56k dial-up! Working on it. Watch our space...

Hiya A quick word; because short courses are not 'qualifications' as such, the paperwork you get back can be called anything - up to and including a certificate of attendance! To be 100% sure, call my Membership Supervisor Kath davis on 0845 065 9000 and just check; I'm sure it's all kosher...

Hi Minky Yep - our policy gives full cover for hairdressers - and by coincidence, the next issue of Vitality (our membership magazine) starts the first of a series of articles from Andrew Don, Editor of the National Federation of Hairdressers magazine salon Focus, plus an article on how...

Hi folks Just to clarify - no, if a course isn't accredited with us but is with another trade association insurer, we can't take it - any more than they could in reverse! It's not our call; if you think about it, when an insurer takes you 'on risk', they have to know what their risk exposure...

In case it helps... 1. It's not illegal for you to charge when you're training, so long as you declare income to the Inland Revenue. That might mean you're classed as self-employed - so remember to keep receipts for stuff you buy! (Actually, HMG is not too bothered by the odd £10 or £20.) 2...

Hi Geeks Take a look at my post on here today under 'smilequest - teeth whitening' - I think this might be the answer for you! Regards PHILIP SWINFORD Marketing Services Manager BABTAC

Hi Geeks I didn't think I'd be back on this thread, but I think I have some genuinely interesting news for everyone. At ExCel, whilst wandering around wearing my editor-of-Vitality-Magazine hat, I met two very nice chaps by the names of Gary Hague and James Mansfield, from a company...

Addendum folks We don't charge an ongoing annual fee for accreditation (I didn't know that anyone did!), because we feel that would be too much like a 'bribe to stay on the books'. Once you're accreditted with BABTAC, that's it. Also - once you've had the first course accredited, which costs...

Hi Geeks Two quickies; 1. There's been talk of having insurance for when things go wrong; but even if you've done nothing wrong, you need insurance to cover you for the really heavy legal costs of defending yourself when someone SAYS you have! 2. Yep. We cover hair fully. Regards...

Hi all Just a couple of quick clarifications. Associations like ourselves and Guild make a small charge for accreditation to cover the time; it really does take quite a lot of time, and time from an emminently qualified person, to 'check out' a companies credentials and training ability...
