i hold 'The Beauty Therapist's Certificate' from City and Guilds that i got in the 90's. i have recently been offered a job and they are questioning if my certificate is the same as a level 3 standard. Now i know that it is, i've been working in spas for 30 years, but they want a breakdown of the modules i did in writing, so i contacted C&G to ask if they could verify that my certificate is a level 3 only to be told it will cost be £44.00 for them to confirm and take up to 3 weeks!!! Is there any way round this? i have told my 'potential' new employer and they have passed this on to their HR, i don't feel i should have to pay as it is the employers who want the information. I've never had my qualifications questioned before and have been told it for insurance purposes. Anyone had anything similar?
