Accredited vs Regulated... simplified! πββοΈπ
β¨
So many students get overwhelmed by course terminology, but itβs actually really simple once you break down what you get for your money.
β¨ ACCREDITED COURSES
β’ Quick, intensive training (usually 1β2 days).
β’ Great for learning a single skill (like lash lifts or brow lamination, nails, beauty).
β’ Gives you a certificate to gain insurance and start taking clients for yourself straight away.
π REGULATED QUALIFICATIONS
β’ Full-length courses sitting on official educational levels (Level 2, 3, 4, VTCT, ITEC or very well known as NVQ etc.).
β’ Involves coursework, case studies, and practical exams.
β’ Recognised nationwide by big salons, spas, and necessary for progressing into advanced aesthetics or laser later on.
