YOUR ROUTE.
CONFIRMED BEFORE YOU COMMIT.
This route is purchased by the learner and is separate from an apprenticeship. It does not require an apprenticeship employer, but it does require the agreed practical training and assessment evidence.
BUILD PRACTICAL EVIDENCE
Develop core salon services through demonstrations, supervised practice, client-facing experience where appropriate and evidence collection.
MEET THE FULL STANDARD
Completion depends on satisfying the assessment and evidence requirements of the exact VTCT Skills qualification registered for you.
PLAN WHAT COMES NEXT
Progression may include employment as a developing stylist, a suitable Level 3 route or focused advanced skills courses.
