I’d like to apologise to all our readers for the delay in a new blog from the National School of Aesthetics. Unfortunately, from the time when qualifying examinations swing around (usually late November) until our new classes are well settled-in (usually beginning of March) is an extremely busy time, and we have been hard at work up until now.
So here we are, fast approaching the National School of Aesthetics’s 25th birthday, and it is an exciting year for all of us here. We’ve made some changes to usher in our silver anniversary, and we’ll continue to roll more out as the year progresses.
One of these changes has been the full introduction of our new uniform. Gone are the white smocks with navy cardigans, (Some of our students, wearing the smock uniform, faced the question, “Are you a nurse?”) replaced with a more contemporary spa top and slacks. Options abound for this uniform too, including a polar fleece jacket in the winter and apron to protect the uniform during treatments like waxing.
We’re also combing through our systems to streamline processes and procedures, and help prospective and current students gain more accessability easier.
For example, every year we would print out and assemble case study packs, mainly to ensure students had the correct quantities of the correct forms all in one place. As you can imagine, this was a tedious process, and, of course, some students would make mistakes and want new forms (understandably so!), so this would involve more photocopying and/or printing. In addition, writing all those case studies by hand could be time-consuming in itself, so our team finally made the move to introduce downloadable, editable forms on our Web site for students to use. This way, they can type (which is quicker) the data in and print off copies for the clients to sign.
Keep an eye out on our Web site for more changes as they become available.
Again, 2010 is an exciting year for us as we celebrate our silver anniversary, and we’d love for you to celebrate with us.
