Hi there
I'll just go straight to the point.
Could you please, help me, as you more experienced (that's for sure),and propably know the worth doing courses in beauty industry.
Here is my problem:
I'm 27 years old. And I'm qualified Beauty THerapist at level BTEC or S/NVQ3 (As my UK NARIC certificate says). It's complicated.
I've done 2 years of beauty therapy training/ full time but in the other EU country, not UK.
Then I've worked for 2 years in one of Beauty Salon in my mother country. After that I've moved to the uk, living here 5 years now, and always wanted to work as beautican but, I didnt feel confident enough to do that. I do feel now. But here another problem occurs.
Now, when I've had 5 years break, lots have changed. And I know I need to do some kind of skills refreshment, and also improve, learn a lot more. I've asked in one of Beauty colleges in the UK they told me I can go straight to do NVQ level 3 If I want to, and I'm thinking bout that but courses are starting next year, and I'm gonna finish doing them at age 29 :/, then I'll gonna start from beginning which scares me a bit. I'd love to save some time.
I was thinking that mabye it would be a good idea to do some short courses, as I need to top up my knowledge with some electric treatments, microdermabrasion etc.
Could you please recommend any good courses in london,If you know any, so potential employer wouldn't send me away.
Or
Do you think, that there would be any possibility that I could be trained in some salon, which would be best option for me, but I'm not sure if this one is possible to do.
And I feel like without some UK certificates none of employers would be interested in employing me.
I just don't have idea where to start.
IS NVQ any better than VTCT qualifications? :|
I am a bit lost now...
I'll appreciate any help with whole my heart.
I'm sorry for too many words to read in my post..
Thank You.
