Training & Education

HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR CAREER FOCUS SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC? SOMETHING YOU MAY HAVE STARTED, ALREADY BE TOYING WITH, OR NOT YET EVEN CONSIDERED, IS EDUCATION.

Teaching is not for everyone. It takes a very specific skill set to teach. Being exceptional at the subject in hand, does not automatically mean you will succeed in teaching that topic.

What qualifications do you need?

The first step into becoming an educator is enrolling on a teaching course. I can only advise on UK requirements, so if you are from outside UK you will need to seek the appropriate alternatives.

The current minimum qualification for teaching adults is an AET (Award in Education & Training). This a nationally recognised qualification. This has now replaced PTTLS (Preparing to teach in the long-life learning sector), which is the qualification I and many educators hold. This is the starting point for education.

As well as the technical abilities, you have an additional skill to continue to develop – your teaching expertise. Once you have obtained your AET or equivalent, you can then progress onto A1 Assessors, CET (CTTLS), DET (DTLLS) which are all dedicated to teaching adults.

Where to do these What next?

Depending on the education route you choose to take, you may need to write manuals, create lesson plans and course content, obtain teaching insurance and much more. You also need to consider and tailor how teaching in the nail industry differs to other sectors. This can be completely overwhelming, so I recommend seeking a mentor such as a current educator to help advise and assist on this. We offer an online introduction webinar covering this topic here on the link below:

There are many online classes taught by educator and techs. I would recommend carrying out this class in a college or university to obtain the best standard. There will however be online alternatives during the current climate. They are usually around a 6-12 week course, with attendance required once per week. There will be a number of assignments and a micro-teach to carry out prior to successful completion.

Once you have obtained your qualification, you need to decide which teaching avenue you would like to explore.
