04 March Update - 

 

Hope you are all well 
 
I have some sadden news, unfortunately, it has just been brought to my attention that i am not allowed to open the Academy for practical training until April 12, however this may change as i have information from the Government that says otherwise. 
 
My insurance company are allowing practical training to take place from the 8 March and have given factual Government information relating to the Governments road map that teaching/schools/academies can operate from the 8 March incorporating both practical and theory training/classes within the Beauty industry.
 
I am currently dealing with this conflict with my insurance company Havering Council and VTCT. 
 
The insurance company have all the accurate and up to date information from the Government however the council and VTCT do not seem to be on the same page, it is the council and VTCT that are not allowing any practical training to take place until April 12, 2021.
 
Unfortunately, i cannot open the Academy until i have permission from all 3 authorities. I have sent both VTCT and the Council all the information given to me from the insurance company i belong to (The Beauty Guild) in the hope they will reconsider their decision relating to March 8 and the April 12.
 
 
Therefore, for now it saddens me to say i will not be running any face-to-face training until this matter is clarified by all 3 authorities. Please stay in touch for any new updates, you are welcome to email, telephone, or text CS Beauty Academy anytime. 
 
For now, unfortunately any training dates which was due to commence Monday 8 March are now being postponed, i am very sorry to have to give you this news, i am very upset myself. 
 
If you have any questions relating to this new update, please feel free to get in touch. Stay safe and be HAPPY xxxx
 
 
Theory exams will continue to take place - Next theory exam date is 25 March, please arrive at 10am look forward to seeing you all. Good luck xxxx

CS Beauty Academy is now open for face to face training from 17 August - 10am - Please feel free to get in touch and book your course training days, assessments and theory exams. Look forward to seeing you all, take care and kind regards Clare x 

 

Just a quick note to let you know CS Beauty Academy share in the frustration felt by English salons and schools that the lifting of the restrictions for treatments on the face have been postponed. These restrictions had been planned to be lifted 1st Aug 2020 but are now likely to remain in place for at least another 2 weeks – ie the 15th August 2020.

 

CS Beauty Academy  will continue to provide updates as and when we get them.

 

Please also read the update below however, please note the date CS Beauty Acadmey aims to open depending on any new Government announcements will be 17 August at 10am.

 

Please understand CS Beauty Academy is currently open at present for any telephone, text messaging and emails. Happy to help with any questions, theory work etc.

Hope you are well.

 

I am writing to update you with news relating to the Covid-19 situation at CS Beauty Academy and course dates and assessment dates.

 

CS Beauty Academy is due to re-open for face to face teaching etc.  3 August 2020 at 10am. Please understand CS Beauty Academy is currently open at present for any telephone, text messaging and emails. Happy to help with any questions, theory work etc.

 

 

CS Beauty Academy is still waiting to hear from VTCT (awarding body) regarding a few matters of concern. VTCT announced last week that treatment times should only be in the range of 15-30 minutes and assessments can only take place after the 17 August 2020, both would hinder teaching and assessments taking place due to most treatments within Level 2,3 and 4 are much longer than 30 minutes. Therefore, I ask you all to bear with CS Beauty Academy regarding training dates being set in stone for your course until a response from VTCT has been made to CS Beauty Academy and other training schools/Academies.

 

 

CS Beauty Academy is happy to liaise with individual students to place dates in the diary for training and assessments as a loose placement in the diary that may not necessarily be a permanent placed date, due to the above unknown questions unanswered, therefore dates can be placed loosely at present if this helps with your own work/commitments/dairy.

 

 

CS Beauty is asking all students at the moment, if you could possibly give an indication of dates you would prefer to attend the Academy for your course training. CS Beauty Academy understands you may have your own commitments with work at the same time the Academy is due to open, therefore the Academy fully understands your request may not be immediate and may even be next year’s dates. CS Beauty Academy will try to do its very best to accommodate your preference, however please be aware this may not be always achievable for everyone.  I apologise in advance if your dates offered do not match your preference. If the dates offered do not meet your requirements, then hopefully we will eventually find suitable dates that suit your diary and CS Beauty Academies diary.

 

 

Please be aware you have 2 years to complete your course from the moment you signed up with CS Beauty Academy and paid your deposit payment.

 

 

Practical assessment dates and theory exams dates are yet to be discussed with the internal verifier, invigilator and VTCT. Assessment dates are normally conducted at the end of each month, the last Thursday and Friday of each month. CS Beauty is asking all students at the moment if you could possibly give an indication of which month you would prefer to attend the Academy for your assessments/theory exams, this question only relates to students that have already completed their training.

 

 

Due to Covid-19 Pandemic VTCT have made it compulsory that every new and current Student will now have to complete a Covid-19 course relating to Infection Prevention and Control, this course will be an additional course to the current or new course you are completing with CS Beauty Acadmey. You will gain a VTCT certification for the Covid-19 course. The course at present is free of charge, however this is likely to change during September 2020. This is not something that just relates to CS Beauty Academy this is 100% compulsory for every School or Academy that works with VTCT or ITEC. The course is not available at present, it is due to become available to Schools around the start of August, there will be a small portfolio to complete consisting of questions that need to be answered, along with a theory exam.

 

 

CS Beauty Academy looks forward to hearing from you all soon.

 

 

To all Students -

 

Hope you are well.

 

I am writing to update you with news relating to the Covid-19 situation at CS Beauty Academy 

 

As I’m sure you will be aware, the good news is that the UK Government have announced that beauty, nails and holistic services, can re-open on 13th July 2020. This includes training schools that offer practical training in these services. This date applies to England only.

 

The bad news is CS Beauty Academy is not allowed to resume treatments or provide training for the following treatments on the face.

 

These include:

 

 

 

  • Face Waxing, Sugaring or Threading Services
  • Facial Treatments
  • Advanced Facial technical (electrical or mechanical)
  • Eyelash Treatments
  • Make-up Application
  • Dermarolling
  • Electrolysis on the Face
  • Eyebrow Treatments
  • Facial Massage
  • IPL Rejuvenation Facial
  • Advanced Beauty Therapy and Aesthetic Treatments

 

There has been no indication as to when these facial area restrictions will be reassessed this relates to the UK’s alert level that was reduced from level 4 to level 3 on 19/6/2020, and means that the virus is still in general circulation. The likelihood is that we would need to get down to level 2 where the number of case and transmission was low before some or all of these restrictions are lifted. The Government has not provided any date for when this is expected.

 

 

Unfortunately, not all training dates can be offered due to Government rules being that no treatments are allowed to the face at present.

 

Please stay in contact for any new developments over the coming weeks.   

 

 

If you are a student that has completed training and is a pre Covid-19 student, please get in contact via email regarding any re-sit theory exams –

 

info@csbeautyacademy.com

 

CS Beauty Academy looks forward to hearing from you all soon.

 

Please feel free to continue to contact CS Beauty Academy with your questions relating to the pandemic and any home study questions you may have. CS Beauty Academy remains open for all telephone conversations, text messages and emails.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 CS Beauty Academy 

 

 

 

The full details are in the Government guidelines which have been updated and are available at - 

 

 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/close-contact-services

 

 

The UK Government have sadly confirmed that beauty, nails, holistic services and training schools in England cannot re-open on 4th July as we had previously been led to expect. These services also must remain closed in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales where reopening dates will be set by the devolved authorities.

 

CS Beauty Academy are extremely disappointed with this latest announcement, the spokesperson from the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) said: “Unfortunately, I cannot advise on the date for re-opening as nothing has as yet been confirmed.”

 

So according to the guidelines, training schools, must remain closed.  In light of the situation, CS Beauty Academy is open for telephone calls, emails and text messages as always!

 

Unfortunately training dates/exam dates cannot be given at present due to the unknown of when CS Beauty Academy can open the doors for face to face contact. Please stay in contact for any new developments over the coming weeks.   

 

So until next time,

 

Stay Alert

To all Students -

 

Hope you are well.

 

I am writing to update you with news relating to the Covid-19 situation at CS Beauty Academy and course dates and assessment dates.

 

CS Beauty Academy is due to re-open for face to face teaching etc.  6 July 2020 at 10am. Please understand CS Beauty Academy is currently open at present for any telephone, text messaging and emails. Happy to help with any questions, theory work etc.

 

CS Beauty Academy is still waiting to hear from VTCT (awarding body) and Insurances companies relating to any new teaching methods that need to be put in place, PPE and how many students I will be allowed to teach at any one time within the Academy. Currently CS Beauty Academy can teach 4 students at any one time, however this may change due to Covid-19 safety.

 

As you are aware all treatments within Beauty are close contact therefore 2 metres distance is not achievable. Salons and training schools will need to follow some fairly rigid procedures when we re-open. These will be specified when the Government guidelines are published, hopefully later this week. The key to safe opening will be individual risk assessments, teaching Academies and Salons should be able to continue offering most treatments under the guidelines, although some of the treatments concentrated around the nose, mouth and eyes may not be possible without modification and may only be possible once all restrictions are lifted.  The risk will centre on the student treating or working on the model, not the teacher looking on and giving instruction. 

 

Unfortunaly I am unable to book solid dates within the diary for teaching due to I am currently unsure how many students I will be allowed at any one time within the Academy, I am fully aware the 2 metre rule is not going to be achievable within beauty treatments, practicing etc. however if distance can be achieved and used during training at certain points then CS Beauty Academy would like to undertake this precaution for safety. CS Beauty is asking all students at the moment, if you could possibly give an indication of dates you would prefer to attend the Academy for your course training. CS Beauty Academy understands you may have your own commitments with work at the same time the Academy is due to open, therefore the Academy fully understands your request may not be immediate and may even be next year’s dates. CS Beauty Academy will try to do its very best to accommodate your preference, however please be aware this may not be always achievable for everyone.  I apologise in advance if your dates offered do not match your preference. If the dates offered do not meet your requirements, then hopefully we will eventually find suitable dates that suit your diary and CS Beauty Academies diary.

 

Please be aware you have 2 years to complete your course from the moment you signed up with CS Beauty Academy and paid your deposit payment.

 

Practical assessment dates and theory exams dates are yet to be discussed with the internal verifier, invigilator and VTCT. Assessment dates are normally conducted at the end of each month, the last Thursday and Friday of each month. CS Beauty is asking all students at the moment if you could possibly give an indication of which month you would prefer to attend the Academy for your assessments/theory exams, this question only relates to students that have already completed their training.

 

CS Beauty Academy looks forward to hearing from you all soon.

Following Boris Johnson’s announcement last night (Sunday 10 May 2020)

 

 

A new COVID-19 alert level model ranks the status of the pandemic into 5 stages, with 5 being the highest. Currently we are alert level 4. The Government will announce plans on how we can start to move down to level 3 later today. Hair and beauty salon businesses, holistic centres, nail bars training schools plus home based and mobile businesses may have to wait until the alert level drops to 2 before they can re-open. The new model only applies to England. The lockdown has already been extended until May 28th in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where salon businesses must also remain closed.

 

 

VTCT will be getting in touch with individual Schools/Academies shortly with news on adaptation methods.

 

Our industry involves touching clients which makes it impossible to adhere to the 2m social distancing rule. Hence the industry remains in lockdown at present.

 

4 July is the current date for hairdressers and salons to be able to re-open, however this date could change.

 

Insurance companies and VTCT will provide its analysis of how this will affect our industry shortly, and a more detailed update will be provided once CS Beauty Academy has this information.

 

Please feel free to continue to contact CS Beauty Academy with your questions relating to the pandemic and any home study questions you may have. CS Beauty Academy remains open for all telephone conversations, text messages and emails.

 

 

 

So until next time,

 

Stay Alert

Control The Virus

Save Lives

 

Best regards,

 

CS Beauty Academy
