Finding the right nail school for yourself... [Part [1/3] The Pink Room International Nail Academy

With the increase in private schools in Singapore, we are all spoiled for choice and developing headaches on which private school to choose. There are so many questions in our minds, with the fear of wasting precious time and money. 

Which course should I take? What if I have no basic knowledge, will I be able to catch up? Can I trust the teacher? Will she be able to teach me since I have no basic skills? What if I don't learn what is promised? Why is this school better than that? Which school is more suitable for me? Will I be short charged since I have no prior knowledge? What if the school close down suddenly?

There are so many uncertainties and worries hindering our pursuit of our dreams!! Do not let such worries get to you~! Picking up a new skill should be easy breezy...

  While you are looking for a nail school that is suitable for you, here are some questions that will help you make an informed decision:

 1. Is the Private Education Institution (PEI) registered with the Council for Private Education (CPE)? If yes, how long?

This is important because, under the Private Education Act, all private schools in Singapore are required to be registered with the Ministry of Education's statutory board, The Council for Private Education [CPE] in order to issue higher qualification certificates such as Diploma & Degree Certificates legally. 

Each Registered Private School has issued a certificate that is only valid for one year or four years before they are subjected to another review/renewal. Each PEI goes through strict and thorough checks by the Council for Private Education [CPE]. 

Apart from the courses itself, the trainers, premises conduciveness, accounts, paperwork, financial ability of the company, operations systems, application forms, etc are carefully reviewed by the Council for Private Education [CPE] before approval. The validity period of each certification depends on how well the Registered Private School fare. The Council for Private Education [CPE] continues to monitor private schools regularly for compliance.
