ABOUT

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.

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.
