It is very obvious that far too many nail courses are not teaching about nail conditions! They may provide a \u2018manual\u2019 that lists some, but this knowledge is not checked nor tested. It is a case of \u2018read this\u2019. NOT good enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every day there are dozens of posts on social media of pictures of a condition with the question \u201cwhat is this?\u201d. What follows is a whole list of comments and advice. Some are correct but most are wrong!! How do you know what is right? Many comments include the question \u201care you qualified?\u201d. This always upsets, and the accurate answer is \u201cyes but not very well!\u201d But who admits to that? You don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Realmente n\u00e3o faz sentido postar uma foto de uma condi\u00e7\u00e3o perguntando o que \u00e9! Quase sempre, s\u00e3o necess\u00e1rias outras informa\u00e7\u00f5es para dar uma resposta precisa. Cada condi\u00e7\u00e3o precisa de informa\u00e7\u00f5es diferentes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confuso? Muitos tamb\u00e9m est\u00e3o!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A very general example: there are some marks visible under the nail plate. Are the marks on all nails or just 1? What nail services has the client received in recent months? What is the time between services or maintenance? Is the client aware of any accidental damage? Is there any sensation in the nail bed e.g., soreness, tightness? Is there any change in the skin condition around the nail? How good is the client\u2019s homecare routine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depois de obter todas as informa\u00e7\u00f5es, voc\u00ea precisa ter uma boa ideia do que est\u00e1 acontecendo de errado. Ent\u00e3o, \u00e9 hora de decidir o que fazer a respeito. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c9 uma linha muito t\u00eanue entre reconhecimento e diagn\u00f3stico, e uma linha que \u00e9 frequentemente ultrapassada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The basic level of education should start with the National Occupational Standards. These are considered to be \u2018job ready\u2019. They are not advanced. Unfortunately, so many courses don\u2019t even come close. Regulated qualifications are totally based on the NOS but also rely on the quality assurance from the Awarding Body (which doesn\u2019t always hit the mark!) Unregulated or accredited qualifications are supposed to be based on the NOS. But when you consider a regulated manicure qualification should take around 55 hrs. to complete (including \u2018nail conditions\u2019), and some unregulated courses are done in half a day, how can it even work? It doesn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Educa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 tudo!
But remember the comparison between \u2018practice makes perfect\u2019 vs \u2018perfect practice makes perfect\u2019?
Praticar a coisa errada n\u00e3o leva \u00e0 perfei\u00e7\u00e3o!
Da mesma forma, nem toda educa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 tudo, mas somente uma educa\u00e7\u00e3o boa e confi\u00e1vel \u00e9!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
