There are so many different options when looking at training in the hair and beauty sector.
Entry to the sector
If you are entering the sector and looking to start your training, give careful consideration to the training provider and the courses they offer, You will want to ensure you are trained to the highest professional standards, and that your 'qualification' is nationally recognised, so employers value your qualifications and you are easily able to obtain insurance from a reputable company. We are hearing some employers do not recognsie accredited courses, only regulated ' qualifications'. High standards and professionalism ensures your clients have safe and effective treatments, that you develop an excellent reputation, and that the business is successful.

In this way, Ofqual makes sure only those organisations that have the appropriate resources, capability and expertise can award regulated qualifications.In the hair and beauty sector there are many Awarding Organisations that are regulated by Ofqual such as , City & Guilds, TQUK, VTCT., To check if an Awarding Organisation is registered, go to.....

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
The Hair and Beauty sector is a very fast-paced, creative, ever-changing industry where new treatments, services, trends and techniques are continually developing. As a consequence of this continual change, we recommend that you frequently refresh and update your skills and knowledge. Often professionals look to undertake 30 hrs of CPD each year. If you are a Teacher/ Trainer/ Assessor check with your Awarding body so you are aware of what hours they stipulate, this will be checked by the Internal Quality Assessor (IQA) as well as an External Quality Assessor (EQA) to ensure you are up to date.
