Training courses

How is training delivered?
Students, whilst being employed by a hairdressing salon in the local LSC area, attend the training school for off the job training, 2 days a month, during this period all requirements of the NVQ level 2 will be covered. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace whilst following a flexible programme allowing for individual learning needs. Individual tutorials are given on a regular basis, allowing tutors to monitor trainees carefully and their progress is reviewed every 12 weeks.

What about practical training?
Practical taining is carried out in the salon, following the school's training programme. Some prefer to train throughout the day, whilst some set aside one or two evenings a week for training sessions. A trainer is appointed who is responsible for not only the training but also assessing the student's progress. A programme co-ordinator visits each salon on a regular basis to ensure training is being carried out and to cross check theory and practical assessment. These visits are essential to enable us to monitor the NVQ progress. To compliment this the school has its own salon with a large clientele, enabling students to gain assessments wihin the school.

What will it cost?
School leavers are funded by the government for Levels 2 & 3. For Students wishing to pay privately a price list is available on request. For more information on the NVQ levels please select NVQ from the menu.

What are Key Skills?
Key Skills are part of today's requirements and are fully integrated into hairdressing qualifications. Key skills give students the basic understanding and ability in communication skills, information technology and application of number.
