WANT TO BECOME A TRAINER?
STARTING A BEAUTY ACADEMY MAY SEEM DAUNTING, BUT WITH THE RIGHT STEPS, QUALIFICATIONS AND INSURANCE, YOU'LL BE TRAINING NEW BEAUTICIANS IN NO-TIME. WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A CHECKLIST OF ALL THE THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO START YOUR VERY OWN BEAUTY ACADEMY AND MAXIMISE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL.
1
HAVE YOUR BEAUTY QUALIFICATIONS
FIRSTLY, YOU'LL NEED BEAUTY QUALIFICATIONS. YOU'LL NEED TO BE QUALIFIED FOR EACH SUBJECT THAT YOU WISH TO TEACH. IN SOME CASES, ACCREDITATION COMPANIES MAY REQUIRE YOU TO BE QUALIFIED FOR A MINIMUM TIME BEFORE YOU START TEACHING, SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS.
2
COMPLETE YOUR AET LEVEL 3 COURSE
FORMERLY KNOWN AS PTTLS, THE AET IS DESIGNED FOR LEARNERS WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OF TEACHING. BY EARNING THIS QUALIFICATION, YOU WILL HAVE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF TRAINING AND WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH NVQ, QCF, RQF AND PRIVATE SHORT COURSES UP TO LEVEL 3.
3
CHOOSE YOUR ACCREDITATION
CHOOSE AN ACCREDITATION COMPANY TO GO WITH, SUCH AS ABT OR CPD. THERE ARE MANY COMPANIES TO CHOOSE FROM SO DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH INTO PRICES AND REGULATIONS IS IMPORTANT.
4
CREATE YOUR COURSE STRUCTURE
YOUR ACCREDITATION COMPANY WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A CHECKLIST OF WHAT THEY NEED TO ACCREDIT EACH OF YOUR COURSES. GENERALLY THEY WILL REQUIRE A LESSON PLAN (WE HAVE A GUIDE INCLUDED IN OUR AET LEVEL 3 COURSE), YOUR MANUALS, TREATMENT QUALIFICATIONS AND AN EXAMPLE CERTIFICATE.
5
GET INSURED
ONCE YOU HAVE GOT THE APPROVAL FROM YOUR ACCREDITATION COMPANY, THERE IS JUST ONE LAST THING TO DO, GET INSURED! A LOT OF THE TIME YOU CAN ADD THIS ONTO YOUR EXISTING INSURANCE.
