Chapters
Okay, in this section we are going to cover the important stuff, okay? So the stuff that you actually need in order to be carrying out your learning experiences in a way that you are qualified, accredited and insured, which is not only important legally, but also important for credibility. Because if you're leading any learning experience, even if that's like an online master class that doesn't necessarily cover like prep or application, it could even be like a French Polish masterclass or an air master class, it does so much more for your credibility when you are able to A, explain that you're a qualified educator, B, explain that you are an accredited academy and that you have almost been approved as somebody who is leading these experiences. C, definitely that you are insured. Super important. And I would hope that you are insured anyway. But also alongside that, it's just the level of confidence your students are able to have with you and also the level of confidence you will have in yourself, knowing that you have ticked every box, you've learned how to do this properly and that you have everything you need, not just the skills, but also legally in place to be doing this. So even if you're somebody who's already offering courses, I still would urge you to watch this master class because it is going to give you all the important bits that you need so you can make sure you haven't missed misses anything out. Okay, so there are three steps to becoming a qualified, accredited and insured academy. And essentially they are the three steps. So I'm going to go through each one in fine detail, show you how and where you can do that, and give you a few little hints and tips along the way based on my experiences and what I've seen happen in this industry too. You can make your own informed decisions. You can take what I say with a pinch of salt. But I would not be an effective leader and educator if I didn't share my own experiences because I would hope that you can also learn, learn from my mistakes along the way and avoid making them yourself. So step one is getting qualified. So that is having. Making sure. Sorry, you have a qualification to teach. Now, the qualification you need as an educator in the beauty industry is the equivalent to a level three award in education and training. So it's called an aet. So you need a level three AET or, or the equivalent to that specifically if you are in the uk. Now this qualification also depends on where you do the course will cover you globally as well. But you just need to make sure what the rules and laws are in the country that you are choosing to educate, you might need additional licenses and things like that, but depending on the course that you do, it should be a globally recognized qualification. So you're looking for a level 3 AET or the equivalent to that. Now one thing I will say is there are so many AET courses out there, some of of them are run by government, some are run privately. And the one thing I would say is to just make sure you do your research and you choose that course for you and no one else based on what is important to you when you learn. Okay, we all learn differently. And so I'll give you an example. For me, it was important that I did my course online because I was running a busy client base at the time. I knew that this wasn't something I wanted to commit to having to actually physically go somewhere in person and do a course. It needed to work around me. I needed to be able to do it in my own time and just log in when I had the space to do so and get going with the training. Now I also wanted it to be in depth. So I didn't want to just stand there with a certificate at the end of this course and have quote unquote, a certificate, but didn't actually fully take in the skills needed to be an educator. Okay. Because there's a complete difference. There is a difference between having a certificate to educate and being an effective educator. Just as there is a difference between having a certificate as a nail technician and being an effective nail tech. Right. You and I both know that we learn so much as nail technicians, so much more along the journey. Not just what's covered in the course, but what is covered in the course is what's going to set you up as the nail tech that you are about to come and it's about to become. And it's the same when you step into education. So the course that I chose, I chose it because I was able to move through it in my own time and because it was online, it was also a globally recognized qualification. However, it wasn't industry specific and I looked everywhere for educators course that was specifically for people in our industry. So in beauty or in nails, I couldn't find it. So I ended up just doing a course where the other people on the course were people like people who did yoga and wanted to teach yoga, or there was like someone who wanted to become a swimming instructor, somebody who did, I think it was like knitting or crochet and they wanted to be able to teach that to other people. Right. So I was, although I was able to meet other people who had these goals and these aspirations and that was great. They weren't like minds that they didn't have much in common with me and my industry. And what I really struggled with at the end of the course was understanding. Like yes, you know, I know how to now teach, but what I don't know is the things like how do I set the nail room up at the start of the day in the best way for my students or what do I do if a student asks me a question about something to do with nail anatomy that I don't actually know the answer to, like actually understanding what could happen in the nail industry and also thinking ahead to like I'm about to create courses now in the nail industry and I actually feel like I don't know what I'm doing. And that was how I felt when I very first got my educator certificate. And that is not how I want you to feel. So do your research, make sure it's the right course for you. And I've got a little bit of info coming next about our educator program that we now lead at the Nail Tech Org. Because that entire experience led me to this purpose of wanting to help other educators. So much so that I ended up creating my own industry specific course as a part of the Nail Tech Org and we now run our own educators diploma. So if you are a part of nto, you love being a member, you love this type of education that I give you, then you will love our educator diploma. So after I've gone through these steps, I will run through our educator course, what it includes, how much it is and all of that and give you the opportunity to learn with us if that's what you want to do. So that is step one, becoming qualified and getting your level three AET or equivalent. Step two is to then get insured. So what you want to do is take that certificate to your existing insurance company who insure you as an educator, sorry as a nail tech and let them know you have now become an educator and you also want additional insurance in place for that. Okay, There are different insurances you might need, things like public liability. I actually went through it all in module one if you want to head back to that. But either way if you approach the insurer that you are currently been with, then they will give you a quote. What you can also do is go online, use the comparison websites, type in insurance as a beauty educator. It will ask you a series of questions and it will tell you what insurance you need based on Your circumstances. Insurance is so important. Do not teach one student without your insurance. I say that with my chest. I've seen terrible things happen for people who have not had insurance in place. It's highly, highly important. And this isn't. This is so much more than being a nail tech. There is enough risk in being a nail tech, but as an educator, so much more, because you're impacting more and more people, More people are involved. Just make sure that you are insured. And step three, once you are insured, once you have your qualification, you then want to get your accreditation, which is completely separate to your qualification, which is a question a lot of people ask. Okay? So these three things are three completely separate things. Your accreditation is what comes last. Your accreditation is almost like a stamp of approval from an accreditation company to say that they approve that you do have a qualification, you are insured, you do have lesson plans, and you are a registered academy. Okay? So even if your courses are online, in person, wherever they are, you still need to become an accredited academy. So this will be a separate certificate that you will get that says that you're accredited as well as qualified. Okay? So they are the three steps that you will need to take. There are many different accreditation companies, many different insurance companies, and many different qualifications that you can go for. So if you are feeling a little bit like a rabbit in headlights at this point, I always like to give you the information so that you can make your own decisions. So I just want to give you the options on a place so that you can decide what you want to go away and do. However, what I also like to do is make things easier for you. So if you would rather me just tell you what qualifications get, what insurance you need and what accreditation company, then that is what I'm going to do in here based on my own recommendations. But again, you can make your own decisions. I am not making you do anything. I'll just talk you through what most of our students, what most of our members at this point use for this. Okay? Also important to mention that with our educators diploma, I have now qualified 500 nail technicians as educators. So I know what I'm doing, I know what I'm talking about. I know how to create amazing educators, but also know how to help you through the process as you do that. So in order to become a credible academy, you can follow these three steps. But I want you to think of these three steps like your prep tools. They are an investment into your career and they provide a return, quality and reliability. Here is so, so so important. And again, I say that with my chest. I also say it from experience. So each of these things will cost you money at first. So you'll either have an annual fee for like your insurance or your predication, or you'll have an upfront fee for getting qualified. It is so worth it. However much it costs for you to get to the place of becoming an educator that is not only qualified to choose an accredited, but also so confident with what they're doing, having the best head start to that area of your career is the most important thing. So even if it is an upfront cost, just know you can make that back in a couple of students once you get going, especially if you learn how to properly price your courses, which I'm going to teach you also in this business program. So it is important at this stage that you invest properly just like you would with your prep tools. So becoming a great educator. Here is all the information on our educator diploma at the Nail Tech Org. So it's a process that allows us to take you from nail tech to educator in a way that has never been done before. And what I mean by that is I literally took the experience that I had, I completely analyzed it and understood what was missing, what did I really want at each point, how was I feeling at each point. I also then my educator team at the Nail Tech Org have also gone through the same course as me. I took their input too. So they were a huge part in creating this course. And together we created the only 12 week online program that number one, prepares you to provide gold standard training and education with all teaching inside this program specific to the nail and beauty industry. So I'm not going to teach you how to lead the session as a swimming instructor or as a yoga instructor. I'm going to teach you how to do it as a nail technician. Those nitty gritty questions that you've got like how do I set up the room? Do I give my students, kids, do I do this? Do I do that? All of those things I am going to help you through because we're going to do it with the purpose of you becoming an educator in the beauty industry. And in order to do that, I do that by giving you two curriculums. So not only do I give you the standard curriculum that you will get from any other age that is out there, I also give you an additional curriculum. And that additional curriculum gives you everything you need to become an educator in the beauty industry and everything you need to know about opening an academy or setting up your training Courses, Okay. We go into so much detail, even into things like launching your courses. There's master classes in there that will help you system sales students, all of the things we help you with all of that. And it also gives you the globally recognized qualification that you are looking for. So it's the equivalent to a Level 3 award in education and training. You just need to make sure that you double check the laws and what is needed in your country if you are outside of the UK and you are doing this now. The Educator elevation brings you the six step blueprint and incorporates three important pillars. Okay, so the six step blueprint is something that I teach you inside the educator program, how you're going to become an effective educator and leader. But I also incorporate three important pillars. So number one, I make sure you get the skills you need to effectively be an educator. Not just the certificate in that actually gaining the skills. I give you the knowledge you need to set up your courses and your academy. So I don't just stop with becoming an educator. We also help you to set up your courses, write your manuals, all of those things. And lastly the mindset. You need to be confident and successful. Now that's so important. I think the mindset part is one of the biggest parts of this course because anybody can be given the strategy. But if you don't have the mindset to actually be able to confidently apply that and execute the strategy, then you will not get to where you want to be. So these are the three fundamentals of running a successful training academy and experience and growth. And we teach you all of them inside our Educator diploma. Now this is the journey that you will follow. So first of all, you become a fully qualified nail educator. In that process you will also develop your own teaching style. Remember when I said in the last video, this is is really a personal journey as much as it is a business one. Because we dig really deep into your story and what's important about and and specific about you so that we can use that to help you then become an effective educator. You also then look at setting up your own training academy. So I put you in the direction of your accreditation company. There is literally inside the course you can apply for your accreditation. They also help you with your insurance. So those three boxes that we looked at earlier are all covered inside this one process. And then you can also have your own courses and manuals by the end. If you don't want to create your own courses and manuals, I also have an option where I can create them for you and give you those it is an additional fee, but again, it's so worth it because it's that upfront investment that gives you everything you need. So not only do we walk you step by step through the entire process, you'll also be supported by an educator team and others in the community who have already done just that. That. Okay, so this is what your journey looks like throughout the 12 weeks. We start off at the pre course on boarding where you are a nail technician and you have a hope and dream to become a competent educator. I then walk you steps by step through this entire process. I won't go through it all, but this is what happens on the course. Until you are a competence educator, you have one year course access. So we don't just leave you to it. Once you are qualified, you have access to us for a year if you need any help and support after that. And everything you need is given to you throughout this process. Now I want to introduce you to a couple of people who have come through this program and have done some amazing things since you can also check out their Instagram handle. So this is Elle. She said her income has increased and she now has more freedom. She's not working every evening and weekends because when she's on the educator Diploma program, it allows her to actually create more money in her business, be paid more for the skills and knowledge that she's providing. Because she's no longer just a nail tech and for that reason she now has more freedom. She's been able to reduce her number of days behind the nail desk with clients and instead show up for students earning more. I'm really enjoying what she does. So what is actually included as part of the educator diploma? So first of all, you will have monthly live group coaching calls. So you will attend group coaching calls throughout your experience. You will be mixing with other people who are also on the education diploma, who are also nail technicians or in the beauty industry. And you will really get to build connections with those people whilst also really working on your skills as an educator. These calls are one of my favorite parts of the program because it's what really helps you because we do do this online and we do that for a reason because we know you're busy, we know you've got clients. What this allows you to do is have that face to face elements, but again in the comfort of your own home and things like that. So you're still getting on the spot coaching on the spot support like you would if this course was in person. But it's just through a screen. So I love that part of it. So what else is included? Six exclusive training modules. So there are six modules as a part of this program. Each of them includes really engaging videos like the one you are watching right now. And you'll move seamlessly through the program in your own time. It is designed to be completed alongside a busy full time client base. So do not worry. We don't expect too much from you. We get it. We have got you. We know that you are busy not only with clients, but just with your life in general. So we've made it really easy for you. And there's interactive learning videos, reading. So if you're someone who has, you know, specific learning styles, do not worry. We've covered all of those in the program and we also give you an exclusive curriculum that provides everything you need to know to stand out as a nail and beauty educator. Not just an educator. Okay. All of this is accessible on our app as well. So you can download the app, you can do all the learning on the app and you can do that on the go. So whether you are on the boss, waiting at an appointment, you've got a gap in between clients, you'll be able to do the learning as you are. You also get the Educator Bible. So this is a physical book that we will send you that replaces the standard trainer manual manual that you might have got on other courses. Okay. This is part of three of our collectible intensive books. So we have the Builder Bible, we have the Nail Bible, and we have the Educator Bible. This is a thick book that gives you all the information you need. Basically everything that's inside the online course is inside this Bible. So it means that long after the course is finished, you can have this book in your drawer and you can pull it out whenever you need it. Even if you're, you know, in the middle of a training course and you're like, someone's asked a question, I don't really know how to navigate this. You can go to your Educator Bible and help you and tell you exactly what to do. Again, so much value to that. You also get your educator welcome box, which I love. So we give you all the gear once you've got all the idea to actually get going. So you get things like a desk pad, which basically is like a session plan, and you just rip it off and you break the next one. Rip it off, break the next one. So this will be your best friend, friends throughout your learning experiences. You get the Educator apron and towel for your desk. You also get the exclusive Educator planet We've designed an entire planner for your educator experience. This is where you can log all of your students, their names, addresses, their progress, all of those things inside one nice planner. You can log all of your lessons. You can record what went well, what didn't. You can use it as a bit of a journal. It is honestly unbelievable. This is going to help you through your educator journey. You also get some stationary. Like we give you sticky notes for your bible as you're going through it, or sticky notes for your planner if you want to use them. There's. You also get your notebook and your pen. Everything you need basically to not only have the skills to be an effective educator, but also to show up feeling like one. So it's really exciting. And the value of that box is £200 on its own. Okay. You get to connect with the community. So by being an educator and sorry, a student on our educator program, you get access to our main news feed where all of our members are. So you get to surround yourself with over a thousand or their nail technicians, beauty business owners who join just get it like, do you know how powerful that is for your journey? If you've got a question, something you're moving through, you want to share it, you want to ask for help, you want to provide help. Maybe you want to practice being an educator and offer support to other people. Like you can do that in this group. There is nowhere else that you will get a space like this that is as positive as this one. So it's not like the Facebook groups where there's a loads of negativity and things like that in there. No, this is monitored. We never had any negativity anyway. But just in case there was, this is monitors. So you know exactly what you are getting when you enter this community and you know it is just a positive space for people who are following similar journeys to you in the same industry and just want to see you win again. So much value to that community. I'm a part of communities like this myself and I pay thousands of pounds a year just to be a part of them. Because having that level of support is so important, you also get additional benefits. So you've got our on hand and educator team combined. They have over 40 years experience in the nail industry. All of them have experience in education, all of them are amazing at what they do and they are on hand to answer your questions whenever you have them, like your own personal go to, you get your recognized qualifications. So we send you a physical certificate in the post. A lot of companies don't do this, they'll just email you, use your certificates. We will send you a physical copy in the post. It's got gold foil on it. It looks amazing, it feels amazing. And you're going to feel amazing as well when you have this, okay? Because that is your proof that you can be an incredible educator. And with all of this you will get a return on your investment. So with all of this you need to know that you can make the cost of this course back in 1, 2, 3, 4 students. Okay? Dependent on what course you are offering. Not only do you get all of those benefits, you also get get access to the curriculum, a group chat just for people who are on this program which is built into the Nail Tech Org and the news feeds for one whole year. You get an exclusive accreditation and insurance discount package. So you get discount just because you're on your course. Because of the contacts that we have in the industry. At the Nail Tech Org you get access to pre approved partnerships to go straight into educating for leads and industry brands. So we have a lot of allies in this industry, a lot of gel brands who come to us for really high quality educators. So we have pre approved partnerships ready to go. You just apply for them and go for it. You have an opportunity to also join our NTO approved program which is exclusively for educators who have come through our educator diploma. So this isn't for everyone, it's only for people who do our diploma. And you can use NTO manuals and course materials but still brand and build all your courses as your own whilst we promote your courses on our website. So this feature is amazing. We have a directory of NTO diploma graduates so you can advertise your courses on our website. So if someone comes onto our website, can't find the course they need or looking for something in person or looking for something different, they can find you on our website and book your course through there. It is a no brainer. Okay? The investment for this program is 1999. Like I said, it is something that you can make back back in one student. Our beginners course for example is 1499. So if we had two students we would make more than our investment back just in that one upfront student. However, because you are a member, because you are an action figure and I know you are because you're watching this video, I don't want you to have to pay full price for this course. I want to give you an opportunity for you to get going immediately. So I am going to give you a members club exclusive of £400 off, which makes this course 1599. Or you can split it over six monthly payments of £275amonth.

I cannot wait to have you in the program creating success like some of our educators already have. So same as Demi has been able to. So she said that her income has increased drastically. She's also been able to invest in a business coach, raise their prices and work less. Now, this is Demi that we met at the start of this masterclass, who was just launching her courses and sold out right When I caught up with her a while later, this is what she told me. Her income has increased drastically. So much so she can now pay for a business coach. She's raised the prices as a nail technician and she works less. She said she cannot recommend this course enough. Then you've also got. Fion was actually already a qualified educator when she did the diploma program. However, she knew that she could be a better educator, provide better experiences, tighten things up more for her students than her existent reality. She wanted to be an educator that stood out and actually built an income. She said I earned double, if not triple my daily income when I am teaching. I have more freedom. And she does teaching now two days a month and she's going to increase that to one day a week. So this is all possible for you. She's tripled her income. That is possible for you too. So I'm celebrating you for being a part of this masterclass, for being here, for coming this far, and for taking this next step and moving unapologetically towards the life that you want. I hope to see you on our educator diploma program where I really allow and help you to bring this to life. But in the meantime, I will see you on the next video of this business program.
