Recently been asked to teach college students

[Emily S]

I have been approached by 2 local college students who are due to finish their course in June.

One of them was asking for tips and advice on how to run a business etc, the other has asked if I did one to one training.

The first girl I happily helped where I could, not very much tbh as I think it's common sense when it comes to running a business and something you can either do or ya can't but a few Facebook messages with another nail tech isn't going to give you a client base.. Is there a direction I could have sent her in without seeming to be rude?

The second girl I have said I'll get back to.

I suggested she maybe came and watched me do her own nails as I didn't think my insurance would cover me actually 'teaching her', nor would I really know where to start and what the best method is to teach.

Am I right in saying no to her?
Where can I go from here as teaching is something I have thought about doing, especially one to one tuition.

Is there a specific course/courses..? I think I would need to refresh myself on the science behind nails, hands etc

Hi Emily I have recently looked into this myself .. Forgive me as I haven't looked at your profile, do you have level 3 Beauty Therapy? What is it you want to teach and where?
I contacted my local college and spoke to a careers advisor. She advised me to do my level 3 qualification in Beauty Therapy (as I chose to do it in separate modules at the time,) then go on to do a PCET or if you have a degree a PGCE. These allow you to teach in colleges or industry. I've covered most of the level 3, the only modules I didn't do separately were the electrical face and body. As I wanted to specialise more in nails
I hope this points you in the right direction 😀

Hi both

You need to have NVQ L3 qualifications

Then you can enrol on PTLLS ( preparing to teach in the life long sector) this is the minimum you need to teach and With this you can teach either at colleges or private courses which you can have accredited by insurance company's.
(Most colleges run this course, I did mine at an adult training centre)
Then it's up to you whether you choose to take your teacher qualifications to CTLLS & Certificate in education (PCE ) (OR PCGE if you already have a degree) but to do this course you need to hold a teaching post.

- also if you wanted to teach at colleges you would also then need to do you assessors qualification - Taqa/A1 award - but again need to be in that environment as you need to be following an assessor and working with an Internal verifier to do the course.

(There's loads of old threads about this)

Hi thanks for the replies.

I have my Level 3 Enhancement qualification through an NSI college course.

I don't have the full beauty qualification, would this be necessary? I only have Level 2 beauty.

Would these courses suggested be a full time commitment... Do all educators at Sweet Squared for example have these qualifications?

I'm more interested in one to one rather than teaching a class if that makes a scrap of difference..?! 😃

I shall look into the PTLLS, thank you.

PTTLS course is usually around 3hrs for 20 ish weeks, consists of 1 micro teach (15-20 mins) and a few assignments,
This course is the minimum qual anyone in training / teaching needs, even with one to one training, if you want to go into this I'd def do this course as it gives you a foundation to teaching/ training.
