Basic training.
The most popular questions and answers related to basic training.
What is basic training for?
Basic training is intended for all interested parties who have reached the age of majority. The beauty industry is becoming more and more popular every year among both women and men, and as the number of customers increases, so does the need for more and more professionals in this industry. Although it is often heard that beauty care is not a real profession and it is impossible to earn a decent salary, I can safely say that masters who continue to develop their skills and improve themselves could say the opposite. If you try your skills in any diversion, and you succeed in it, and it brings you joy, then keep going, you are on the right track!
Should there be prior knowledge when starting basic training?
No, no prior knowledge is required. Basic training is designed in such a way that you learn all the basics in the specific diversion. Although prior knowledge is not necessary, you can also go to the base training if you have gone to learn this profession elsewhere, but you do not feel sure that the skills you acquired there will be enough. In this case, you can also attend basic training with other instructors in other educational institutions.
What will you learn in the basic training?
In this type of training, you will learn everything from disinfection and instrument sterilization requirements to the smallest nuances of how to work with a client. You will be told about everything you should know: about setting up your workplace, about what materials and where to buy them, you will learn about the most common mistakes among young masters, and how to avoid them. You will learn all the necessary theory, and you will also have the opportunity to apply the newly acquired knowledge in practice, first on a mannequin (if it is about eyelash extensions, in face-to-face training), and then on your first model.
How long does one basic training usually last?
This factor is usually determined at each educational institution or at a given teacher individually, guided by the specifics of the program. The duration of training can vary from a few hours to several months. Everything depends on the direction you choose to learn and the institution where you learn it. Also, the duration of training for one profession may differ from institution to institution and the payment to be made for the completion of this program.
What should you take with you when going to such trainings?
It all depends on where you are going. Most often, all the necessary materials, including theoretical handouts, are provided by the instructors and are included in the price, but there are places where you may have to pay extra both for materials needed during training and for models. Before going to the training, if it is not mentioned anywhere, be sure to find out in advance about everything necessary for the learning process.
Why do basic training prices vary so much?
The price of the training is determined by each educational institution or the private instructor for the individual. Most often, the price is influenced by the degree of complexity of the profession you choose to learn, the cost of training materials, the experience of the instructor or educational institution in the specific field, the existence of various types of permits and licenses, as well as many other factors that affect the payment for training. It is a common fact that the cheaper the training, the less information you will receive, which can lead to various types of consequences due to not receiving detailed information.
Can basic training also be learned remotely?
Basic training is usually taught face-to-face, but it depends on the specifics of the particular profession. Today, when technologies have developed to a high level, it is possible to learn a lot of professions also remotely, or online. If the remote program is made with both theoretical blocks and video tutorials, where everything is shown and explained to you in detail, everything can be possible. You can learn any deviation quite well even when you are in a place and time convenient for you. All you need is an Internet connection, a device from which to learn the chosen profession, and time to learn the program.
How to choose where to go for basic training?
You have to evaluate where to go to learn a specific profession based on many factors.
For instance:
- Is the educational institution/private instructor licensed or accredited in any way for the particular program?
- Does the social network profile and/or website of the particular institution/teacher appeal to you as safe and reliable?
- Follow other people's reviews. Find out from others whether they would recommend the specific institution/teacher to you?
- What kind of communication do you have with the specific institution/teacher? Does their attitude appeal to you?
- Evaluate whether the price of the study place of the specific program is acceptable to you? Are you considering whether the price meets the requirements of the particular institution/teacher?
- If you go to a private tutor, are you attracted to that person's work style and ethics? Because most likely, this person will teach you according to his techniques.
It often happens that after completing the training, this profession did not appeal to you until the end, but that's okay, there will always be room for something new. ;)
