Underpinning this qualification they will develop a sound knowledge of Health & Safety and what it is like to work in the hairdressing industry. They will also develop a knowledge and understanding of the practical skills learned throughout this qualification.
The purpose of this qualification is to develop their skills to a high level of occupational ability to enable them to perform their own services and assist others.
Once they have completed this qualification they will have the opportunity to progress to further NVQ qualifications (which includes cutting and application of permanent hair products) and vocationally related qualifications.

All aspects of the course will be assessed by the internal verifier to meet VTCT and regulatory requirements. An external verifier, appointed by the VTCT will visit the salon to sample and quality-check the assessments.
