Beauty2trs Ca Tracey Lee Train The Trainer

Teaching is a skill in its own right and therefore being well educated, informed and skilled does not mean you’re a natural born teacher, but it does mean you could have the makings of one. Being a phenomenal nail tech doesn’t automatically mean you’re able to educate. In fact, in order to move into this sphere you will need to learn a whole new skillset.

If you’re a nail pro that’s developed amazing technical skills and one who understands the theory and practicals of how to go about creating nails, nail art and nail enhancements, you may feel ready and excited to share your knowledge, experience and skills with fellow nail techs. If so, there’s only one challenge left, you may be experiencing one or more of the following:

  • You may not feel confident in front of a class
  • You may not like the sound of your own voice
  • You may not be able to present without constantly looking at your notes
  • You may not feel confident handling questions
  • You may not feel comfortable speaking in public
  • You may not feel experienced enough to teach others
  • You may not know where to start

Good news, Beauty2trs has a class that will help you with the challenges mentioned above and a whole lot more! The class ‘Train the Trainer’ is delivered by Tracey Lee.

This class is offered to supplement your practical and theoretical skills and to offer additional skills to help you transfer your knowledge over to others. This class is made up of two live sessions and a recorded one. It also involves a few homework assignments to allow you to put these new techniques into practice.

The objective of the class is to teach educators and upcoming educators to:

  • Identify, embrace and enhance their training style
  • Feel comfortable and confident in front of a class
  • Create a memorable training experience for students
  • Utilise presentation aids effectively during training
  • To make the move from telling to teaching
