About Us
The Academy is 'an outstanding training provider' in all areas (Ofsted, 2015). We are a government funded training provider working in partnership with apprentices, full time students, schools, colleges and employers across Yorkshire.
Since 1999 we have specialised in training for the hair, barbering, and beauty industry.
We deliver the apprenticeship standard drawn-up by employers for employers, now part of all level 2 and 3 apprenticeships. The standards are more learning focused against the assessment focus of the frameworks. Meaning the apprentice learns the skills they need to succeed in the role.
A standard contains a list of the skills, knowledge and behaviours an apprentice will need to have learned by the end of their apprenticeship where they sit their End Point Assessment. This end point exam is designed to prove to an external examiner that the apprentice has all the skills and knowledge needed to be a confident and successful employee.
Functional Skills may be part of this delivery. English and maths is also part of the Traineeship for young people who want to attend a valuable work placement and learn employability skills.
Apprentices and students tell us they enjoy this supportive learning environment where they can learn new skills and form new friendships. They feel safe here and know who their Safeguarding Officers are.
Training takes place at purpose-built academies in Scarborough and Whitby. For apprentices, off the job training will also take place in the workplace as agreed with the employer.
We have a small team who can offer impartial advice and guidance so whatever your query we look forward to hearing from you.

Equality and Diversity Statement
What is Equality?
All equal all different - We are committed to providing equality of opportunity. Equality is often described as treating everyone the same. However, sometimes treating people differently is the best way to treat everyone equally.
So what is Diversity?
Diversity is about recognising, valuing and taking account of people’s different backgrounds, skills, and experiences. Diversity is important because it allows everyone’s skill and contribution to be used and valued. The experiences and skills of different people makes a real difference to the effectiveness of The Academy and its impact on learners, staff and the community as a whole.
What does the law say?
In October 2010 a new piece of legislation called the Equality Act came into force. This law has replaced, strengthened and added to the existing equality legislation. The Equality Act outlines a number of duties that The Academy must adhere to, and also spells out the rights, and responsibilities of the people that form The Academy community.
It also lists 9 protected characteristics, the act makes it illegal to treat someone less favourably because their ‘protected characteristic’ It also bans bullying, harassment or victimisation based on their protected characteristic.
Equality and Diversity Protects Everyone – Report it
If you are the victim of a hate incident or hate crime, or have witnessed one and want to report it, then please report it to main reception. Your report can be anonymous and, if you wish, passed on to relevant agencies such as the Police.
A hate incident is perceived by the victim or any other person to be motivated by the offender’s hatred of someone because of their race, sexual orientation, disability and/or faith and religion. A hate incident becomes a hate crime when there is a criminal offence attached to it (such as a physical attack, a threat of attack or verbal abuse and insults)
We will monitor this policy periodically to judge its effectiveness and it will be updated in accordance with relevant changes in the law. Information provided by job applicants and you for monitoring purposes will be used only for these purposes and will be dealt with in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Traineeships
A traineeship is an education and training programme with work experience that unlocks the great potential of young people and prepares them for their future careers by helping them to become 'work ready'.
