Hi
I am here on behalf of my wife who used to work in beauty Spa salons in Philippines and United Arab Emirates and gained 8-9 years experience and got 3 certificates from work training She very good with her tasks and does better than some other employees in her last salon in UAE. Now she married to me and live with me in the UK and got her BRP which she can work here legally but she found out all salons here asking for NVQ levels up to 3 and than experience. She applied one that asking for NVQ or any other certificates (which she assumed her 3 corticates would be noted but was rejected and wanted NVQ?) that was a misleading job advert. She was very annoyed about the salon here always asking for NVQ when she already done so with her Emirate certificates that can be use in here. It does not make sense why you need to do NVQ when the work with humans body and face are the same all around the world? She notice all salons around the world including USA and Canada does not ask for NVQ but experience 1 to 2 years required and she got over 8 years of it?
So how she can work in a UK salon as she won't study NVQ and pay hefty £1600 course fees which she does not need to do it? Is there any salon willing to take her in without needing NVQ but accept her foreign certificate that show clearly her achievement We are in Nuneaton area at the moment. If anyone know or help us how she can get a job without NVQ based on her good long experience that enough for it.
