Hi Gigi
Just interested in your comments with regard to why Creative support the use of the Essential Nail Trainer hand after their professional training, when you obviously regard the Nail Trainer as being such a poor tool within our nail industry.
Kind Regards
Lets get things in perspective here.
1. there is the nail trainer
2. there is a home learn course supplied with a nail trainer.
These are 2 seperate issues. As far as issue no. 1 is concerned
I
fully support the nail trainer as a tool to help nail technicians practice technique
along with the use of live models. I helped consult on the original designs of the nail trainer. For years, (and it was my decision) The Creative Nail Academy network were
the only nail training schools that supported its use in and out of the class room, along with the use of live models as well on the course. The Nail trainer is included in the cost of CND Foundation Courses and its use is NOT optional. So I think you can see that I am a great advocate of the NT use.
Not sure where you got the idea that I thought the NT was a poor tool in the industry but I hope you now are put right on that score.
Issue no. 2.
The home learn courses.
As a general comment, I feel the home learn courses turn out amateur technicians who need to gain further knowledge in order to reach professional status. Many of the HL techs think so as well (read the very honest comments by glittergirl).
When technicians can come on this web site (not once but this has hapopened many many times) and make comments such as "I learned more in an hour on the site" than in a 20 week course etc. It proves how sadly lacking is most of the nail education on offer today.
