Hiya Chocolate,
It was recently mentioned to us at our Creative Course that Unit 19 is going to be an important qualification to have soon and we may well need it to practice.
Is this the case and if so, where do I start - I have a qualification from a home learn course and hopefully, when I attend for the final day with Creative, a certificate with them for L&P. However, nothing else in the way of manicure, pedicure or such like.
I think I'd like to be ahead in the game if it comes to necessary requirements for licensing and insurance purposes etc.
So where do I go from here?
Thanks
Carol

Thanx hun.

Chocolate is the best for many reasons but the main one because she is my friend. She's a wicked nail technician and nail artist and her advice and help mean so much to me. I could've PM'd this but I thought I'd post it to show everyone how great you are!

Cheers babe for all your help. If anyone wants to do their nvq do it with Rachel!! (Sorry luv, going to make you really busy now!!)

Hi all, I hope someone can help me clear this once and for all. I have a IHBC Diploma in Advanced Nail Techiques, as well as other training courses including Creative, will I still require the said NVQ?

Hiya Cutie,
I have IHBC cert too, mine says on it Diploma in Advanced Nail Techniques (A431) I was told that it was equivalent to the NVQ hence me taking the course. However, on my CFC last week my tutor Jane Cook told me that she doesnt think its enough and has asked me to take my portfolio to show her when I attend my final day next week.
I feel quite miffed I can tell you, thought I'd got this covered :evil:

Accordingly to someone at ANT (who are running satellite centres for NVQ), VTCT, IHBC Advanced Nail Techniques is treated as the equivalent and you do not need to then obtain the NVQ qualification...
