Career change??

NoQuarter

not sure if this is the right place for this post but we'll give it a bash!

my girlfriend is a qualified beautician for the last few years but shes been saying lately that shes just not into working in a salon anymore and would love to do something else(in the same field!), does anyone know what options she would have now with her current qualification? or perhaps a progression she could do to get a new type of job?

im a bit clueless when it comes to this stuff so if ive left something out just ask!

thanks.

hi im a beautician and then i got into teaching beauty and massage therapy, i love being a beautician but got sick of working in a salon so this was the perfect job still get to do what u love. its a stressful job though and takes work to get in but once u get into there are loads of good paying jobs

hey thanks for the reply,
how would she go about getting into that? shes only finished college around 2 years so i assume shed need a lot more experience? i know she has a lot of courses done such as gel nails etc etc....

thanks..

Well she could go back to the college she trained in and sometimes theyll train u to be a tutor u have to sit in on classes for months and then they might start letting you take classes yourself. You dont get paid though until you are trained.
Alternatively she could get a diploma in training and education, and then get on to the examination boards such as ITEC or CIBTAC and they will tell her what elae she needs to do to become a registered tutor. I would recommend doing this way, because if she trains with the college she wouldnt be a registered tutor so she could ony teach in that college or similar.
It can take awhile to get approved and it takes s lot of free working hours but there are jobs all over the country

Hey,


I'd suggest that your gf contact FAS. i saw an ad the other day in the paper, i'll try and dig it out and have a look at it again. but it was to train to be a teacher. the salary was unreal!!! €45 grand upwards!! no joke!!! i'll try and find it again or alternatively if she contacts FAS herself.

I know of one person that did the teachers diplomas she'd only have to do another load of hours of case studies (that she would have done for her diplomas already) and whatever else they ask for!
