Thanks for the reply but insurance is not my concern... my concern is how many times on adverage over how many days or weeks do you have to show them techniques before they can work on customers...many people on here must have had an apprentice and know this answer...
still not one good reply to my question.... i am not asking for people to look into my business and worry about my insurance i dont drive a car without insurance and i certainley wouldent let my staff opperate without insurance
My question was in your salons not mine how many days weeks months training do you give to an apprentice... if you send them on training first or to collage at the same time thats fine but i would expect that in the answer about your salons.. and not re-direct the question at my salon
I have a girl who works for me in my salon and she is just about finished her NVQ level 3. I basically have not allowed her to perform any treatments until she has passed and has the certificate for that module. I then know she is a) fully trained and qualified and b) covered on insurance. I then test her out myself, see her work on a couple of friends and basically be guided by her as to when she feels confident enough to get going on paying clients (within reason on this time scale of course!) I am lucky in that she is fab and her work is immaculate, but I would put some of the responsibility onto your trainee (once she is fully qualified) to tell you she is good to go.
Im not being rude please understand that i have an expanding group of nail salons... i aim to make apprentiships a big part of it and want to invest a lot of time and money in the future generation i know this is a skill that will survive on the hight streets throught the tougth economic climate...
Im going to come back in five years and answer this myself...ill be able to say iv had a big amount of aprrentices in my nail salons we can usually get them working at a discounted rate after four weeks then after six months they qualifiy...
If you are a mechanic you get your own ramp and work by yourself after 3 years
if your a surgeon you wont touch anyone for five years
the nail industry does not seam to have this there is one day courses one week 3 month six years its compleatly messed up with no governing
the actuall good replies in this thread wont just benifit me they will also benifit anybody searching in month,s to come trying to find out how long there going to be trained before they can work on customers
so if people can say how long it took them before they worked on the genral public that would be great
And for all the people that keep saying about insurance it is possible to insure an un-qualified or apprentice nail technician ... trust me iv done this and i have the certificates in black and white...
