Hey All - Sandi alerted me to this thread (thanks Sandi).
Firstly, I had a lovely chat with Jenna yesterday and explained why she wouldn't have received the info so that is underway and being dealt with and now she understands the situation, is feeling far more comfortable.
Secondly I am sure it is confusing to see what was put in Scratch but hey, people will stoop to any level so it's no surprise for us to see.
Essex are now distributing another brand and since CND would never allow that with their official distributors, you can rest assured that they are just making a play for it; they are finding it more and more difficult to reassure existing customers that 'their certficates are on the way' and we are getting calls from the Essex area everyday in regards to the problems they are facing in regards to this, the 20% higher prices they are being charged and the length of time it is taking for them to receive goods. Jenna has so far waited 8 months for her certificate whilst being given one excuse after another - pretty sad really.
One would have thought that had Essex been so desperate to continue the relationship with CND, that they would have contacted S2 when the contract was awarded but not one phone call!
For anyone out there training under the guise that you weill receive a recognised CND certifcate from Essex you are being sadly misled. I have said this before and am saying it again... CND made the decision in July of 07 in regards to Essex... Sweet Squared are the contract signed distributors for the UK with subs in MK, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ellisons. We will happily alert everyone if any more subs are added but these subs (including us in Leeds) are where CND can officially be puchased and education done (as well as the gorgeous Ambassadors and their academies around the rest of the UK).
I hope this helps and am sorry that it's confusing. It really isn't but there are those out there trying to make it more so!
Thanks!
