I've been insured elsewhere for years but the company won't cover so e treatments I do so I've gone back to BABTAC. I completely understand the reasons why they want certificates sent to them...but after 20 years in the industry I've forgotten about half the courses I've done let alone where the certificates are! 😳 I've also had to ask my staff for their certificates and I can just foresee a nightmare with who has what and maiden names etc...
I questioned did an HND not just cover you for treatments...ie I've done manicure so why do you need to see my Jessica or Opi certificates etc, doesn't the fact I am qualified in manicure cover me for any product I decide to use? I'm now worried! Individual lash course at college was fine at the time, now I need a certificate for whatever product I use?
I'm all for training and certificates and qualifications etc but have they lost sight of the college qualifications? Are we so wrapped up in day courses for example that those of us who have HNDs ect are suddenly penalised?
Another for example... Part of my HND was electrolysis, I've changed from a Carlton machine to a sterex...am I supposed to now get a certificate from sterex to be covered? For me that's not feasible, I've been doing treatments 20 years...why would I now go to the expense to be shown what I've been doing years? My nail box has Naio, OPI, Harmony and ASP acrylics with CND, Sally's, and various other tips and glues...should I worry? 😳
Thoughts?
