You will be able to study a range of units including introduction to assisting a stylist and hygiene skills for hands and feet well as being able to access salon facilities at the Cauldon campus. Additionally, you will also work to develop your personal and employability skills completing units in teamwork, managing your money and oral presentation skills. Functional Skills of maths, English and ICT are also integral to the course. Enterprise is also a big feature in the course and you will be encouraged to demonstrate the skills you have learnt through fund raising activities.

Assessment is on-going throughout the course. For each unit that you work on, you will have to complete an assessment to evidence your learning and understanding. Your tutor will tell you when the assessments will take place. You must successfully pass all of the unit assessments in order to pass the course successfully.

No formal requirements, but you will have a pre-induction interview/assessment to make sure this is the right level for you.

All of the Entry courses are smaller sized classes to allow more individual support that nurtures and develops learners and their learning. As the course progresses throughout the year, more independence and autonomy is encouraged.

Support is provided to identify progression pathways that are appropriate to the individual. Progression can to a level 1 or employability course within any area of the college you choose.
