After the pandemic, the world saw an influx of online and in person courses on offer.

But how do we sift through the noise of courses and choose a course that is a legitimate education standard course that actually delivers what is promised in their beautiful and clever marketing?

In two days I’ve read two pieces of content that reported how training providers and accreditation standards are slipping.

When my courses were plagiarised a couple of years ago, the company I was then “accredited” by accredited the people who copied my work. When I informed the owner of the company what had happened, there was no integrity in checking standards of their teaching or course content or mine. I withdrew my membership with them immediately.

That’s when I switched over to being a recognised and accredited training provider with CPD and CMA. They both have a pretty rigorous and intense process to be granted their high standard accreditations. Because they understand that if I’m not up to a high standard that I’d be bringing their brand down and vice versa too. And I’m proud to be associated with such brands that uphold their integrity with their members and I’m prouder still to share that high standard with you.

I read that there is a company who have launched an investigation into the current accreditation standards for certified courses in the UK. It won’t be long till the world catches onto this.

In fact, they already have.

A third of the students who took my last in person courses in Dubai had already taken a sound healing course from a different provider. When they took my courses they all said they wished they’d found me first.

Not only that but there are people out there who are “teaching that can’t teach”. And in the words of @lucywernerpr “badly taught workshops does everyone a disservice.”

Not only was I a dance teacher (another lifetime ago) but not many people know that when I created my courses my insurance provider would only insure me to teach if I had a teaching qualification. So I made it happen and I’m also an English teacher too.

My advice to you when you’re looking into investing into a new course:

1. Make informed purchasing decisions.
2. Select a training that has the most reputable accreditation options.
3. Check the background legitimacy of the teachers and the courses. Ask to have a call with the teacher before handing over your money. Ask people you know who’ve attended their courses for their honest feedback that hasn’t been cleverly adapted to market their product to you.
4. Work with people who have a high standard and care about your standards and what you’re contributing to the world.
5. Listen to your gut first. Energy never lies and you’ll know which is the right teacher and course for you.
