Anybody who is doing any kind of training, even a basic workshop should have some kind of teacher training certificate. Teaching is not just about been good at a treatment, its been able to pass that knowledge on.

We have asked that all teachers on here upload their teaching certificate but when does the type of certificate mater?

For me this comes down to what they are teaching and in what setting.

If you are attending workshops or add on skills I don’t think you need to worry to much about this, I would go off their reputation and ability, as what you really want from them is to expand your knowledge.

I have attended courses with people who aren’t qualified teachers. I’m there for a skill I need from them, but this is for things like lash workshops, not something like body massage or skin needling.

If you are going to be doing something like your full beauty therapy training or body massage for example, I would look for someone who holds a OFQUAL approved qualification, this normally will be a certificate in education.

If you are doing the qualification route yourself, your tutor will have to have a min level 3 teaching qualification to teach this course.

I can't express how important it is to know about who will be teaching you. You are investing in to your future and the last thing you want is to pay for a course and find out the person teaching you has been doing treatments for a year and actually doesn’t have much knowledge themselves.

Seek out experts! What is their work history? Do a little bit of stalking…

Price is not a factor to me, its what the value the person has to me. If I can't afford it I save until I can.

I know this is probably massively confusing but my advice is to find a subject you feel passionately about, find the best trainer you can for this and if you can do it as a qualification please do! Throw yourself in to this to become an expert and then make your next step
