More information about this Course


Introduction

Hairdressers will be able to shampoo and condition hair, cut hair using a range of techniques, style and finish hair to create a variety of looks, and colour and lighten hair. They also need to be able to carry out consultations with clients, demonstrate the professionalism, values, behaviours, communication skills and safe working practices associated with their role and be able to work without supervision to a high level of precision, with exceptional client care skills. Off the Job Training A key requirement of an Apprenticeship is Off-the-job training. This must make up at least 20% of the apprentice’s contracted hours, over the total duration of the apprentice’s planned training period. Off-the-job training must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard and must take place within the apprentice’s normal working hours. The new learning must be documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on e-portfolio.



Entry Requirements
Level 1 Maths and English. The apprentice will need to be in a relevant role and show a willingness to undertake the knowledge, skills and behaviours identified below to the appropriate level. The apprentice will be required to work towards a Level 2 Functional Skill in English and Maths if they have not achieved a grade C/4. (This could be block sessions). Apprentices may be required to attend an interview and undertake relevant skills assessments. Once they have been accepted on to the programme all apprentices will be required to attend a Lincoln College Induction. Apprentices will require access to a tablet/computer to access their e-portfolio .

Assessment and Progression

Assessment is done through a combination of practical tasks, written assignments, oral discussions and online tests throughout the programme. To ensure that we can support you to meet these, we will complete an in-depth initial skills analysis to ensure that we can tailor our delivery to meet these unique requirements. We will then use the most relevant delivery methods to support your learners which include: One to one coaching from a dedicated, professional tutor allocated to the learner for the duration of the programme. Work based assignments and projects. Job shadowing and mentoring. Employer led technical training. Independent learning and research. This is a two-year programme where attendance at College is one day a week. Your apprentice will be continually formatively assessed through practical work on paying clients in your Salon and at College. In addition to this they will be required to take an online theory exam for each unit. End Point Assessment There will be an End Point Assessment (EPA) as the final stage of an Apprenticeship. The Apprentice must demonstrate their learning to an independent end point assessor and the overall grade available is distinction, pass or fail. This will only take place when the C&G Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professional & English/ Maths is achieved and all parties agree that the apprentice is ready for the EPA. Methods of assessments for this standard are: Practical observation ?The apprentice must complete a range of services on at least two models to industry standards and within commercial timings. ? There is a time limit of 6 hours on this task. Oral questioning ? The apprentice’s consultation skills ? Communication skills ? Safe working practices ? Professionalism, values and behaviours will also be assessed by oral questioning at the end of the 6 hours. Qualifications C&G Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professional Progression This apprenticeship provides an ideal entry into the occupation and supports progression within the sector as a junior stylist and progress to a Level 3 Hairdressing qualification. Other progression routes include work on cruise ships.
