Little bit of background - I work within an awarding organisation in the UK that deliver regulated qualifications. Everyday I work directly with training providers all over the world in helping them to offer regulated qualifications in areas that are unregulated within their country.
I work very closely with QQI in Ireland and visit very often to help colleges/private training providers as our qualifications are recognised for work in Ireland. The point being, I am so passionate about ensuring that students gain a qualification that can be used to gain insurance in their subject area, while maintaining safety for the general public who use their services.
The ‘qualification’ Lisa has taken is so extremely ridiculous, that I can’t stop laughing at how she’s been conned!
The website for the Sleep Lady and gentle sleep coach is very obviously American. The USA has zero regulated qualifications, as in what I would deem as regulated through an awarding body registered for approval by their government. What they do have is a minimum amount of hours to be taught prior to exams and then state licensing for each industry you go into, (something I think would work quite well to ensure standards are high in Ireland the UK for certain industries - I digress!) Each state has different hours and exam requirements.
I do wonder if each state requires these gentle sleep coaches to gain a license. Might look into that later if I get a chance.
This course is absolutely ridiculous. It even states that there is no regulation for the sleep consulting industry, which is true, so why oh why would anyone part with €6000 for a certificate that has zero regulation or recognition in any country?!?
There must be a legitimate reason as to why no awarding organisation has created a regulated qualification in this area.
The course requires you to keep up to date with your ‘certification’ by paying annual mentorship fees. For a course that is completely unregulated, uninsurable and unproven, it really seems like a HUGE money earner for the owner, Kim West.
I am absolutely shocked that no one has picked up on how potentially damaging this could be for families who are so vulnerable to these con artists and their sleep coaching bullshit.
Massive red flags on this!
(Sorry for the essay!)
