Virtual Learning. Yes Or No ??

Hello Everyone

So today I thought I'd touch on virtual learning.

A way of the future or not cut out for the beauty industry ??

Well if you are like me and are very busy and need to work to fund any type of learning, When are you going to find the time to go to college, or an acadamy or any other institute of learning ?

I was yearning for a change of direction so I could earn some proper money to support my family. Don't get me wrong my husband is a great provider but I need to have some independance and a place to flex my brain power just a little bit.

I wanted to do a make up course and couldn't go out to london plus after much discovery I found that most make up artists are self taught, all I needed was the basics so that I could move forward, Practice makes perfect right ?!?

The next thing I wanted was to be able to take any qualififcation with me all over the world, my hubby wants to move to canada one day, so I need to be able to work abroad. I found places that charge a fortune to give you a diploma that doesn't mean a thing. Then to my amazement I stumbled across virtualbeautycourses.co.uk they are the first in the UK to offer internationally recognised qualifications via City And Guilds. The courses are individual so you can do the sections that interest you and leave the ones that you are not keen on. The paperwork is delivered online and marked by your tutor who gives all the feed back you require, I seriously flet like I had my own teacher on hand whenever I needed them either via txt, email, skype or phone call. The practical videos are given online through your personal virtual learning portal and you watch them as many times as you like before you commence practice.

The first assesments are done via skype so you can remain comfortable in your own surroundings so they can give you any teaching points, hints and tips. Claire and Becky are so supportive and are really picky about the treatments being carried out to the best standard so the pointers are really helpful. You can rest assured your clients will be happy with your treatments when you are done so all the hard work is worth it. Once your skype assessments are done and they feel you are ready to do the final  assessments you get to do the final exams in house at their acadamy in Kent.

I can't rave about virtual beauty enough. Learning this way has been a god send as I have been able to work, start a beauty business and still be a mother and wife. If you are in 2 minds whether to do it or not bear a couple of things in mind, make sure the qualifications are recognised, check reviews, talk to them over the phone or skype so you can gauge if you will get along with the tutors.

Go for it. Be the best you.
