Trained or Not That is the question, we seem to have lots of peeps around at the moment who seem to want to do their training via the experienced geeks on the site. OK on the face of it, but all the experienced geeks have taken time and paid out good money that perhaps they have had to really struggle to save to get to the superstar status that they have now among us the minions.
OK you say these untrained geeks are going to get the urge to do professional training, but are they? or are they just going to set up using all the knowledge and tips gained on here some will try too this is a fact of life.
What can we do about it? we can give information on training courses until we are blue in the face, but there are life's takers out there who will do nothing about it unless it is free or given to them on a plate.
It makes me shudder when you think about it, imagine going to a tech who has done no training at all, knows nothing about contra indications, contra actions, anatomy and physiology and doesn't even know the basics about the natural nail apart from what has been gleened from this forum.
I know HABIA are having more input into the industry, but I feel that it is not enough to stop the mavericks from going out and setting up their own business, well not at this time anyway, perhaps in the future when councils get more savvy things will improve, but how can they, what do they have to know to ensure the safety of Joe Public?.
What can the product companies do to avoid this? and more importantly what can we as geeks do to ensure we do not help this situation to arise.
I hope this is thought provoking enough to be entered for the Geekmollian prize.
