The fact is, that there IS a national standard in the UK and it is the NVQ ... problem is, it is not mandatory to have this certificate to become a nail technician.
Other problem is that although we say NVQ is the standard qualification, it is also only the minimum qualification needed.
Other problem is, the people who teach this standard vary wildly in their ability both to teach it, and to assess the standard so the so called standard is NOT standard and also varies wildly.
Company training given by the best companies is usually much more comprehensive and ultimately the standard of work by the students who are company trained is much better than college training .... this is not true of every college, but as a general statement it is true.
