4 GCSEs at grades 4 and above. These must include English/Maths. It is important that students have a mature and professional attitude as the Hair and Make-Up profession is a highly demanding and disciplined one. In particular, students will be required to maintain high standards of personal and professional appearance including wearing a uniform, and make-up to look presentable & hair must be tied back.
Competency is assessed via practical assessments and each unit has an online theory exam. Please note that personal appearance is an extremely important part of this course as we follow the awarding body guidelines and are preparing students for a very demanding industry. Students must be in full uniform for all practical lessons, make-up, and hair secured, with short, unvarnished nails. Only studs earrings to be worn, no hoops. Nail extensions are not allowed. Students are also advised that visible tattoos will severely restrict their job opportunities in the beauty industry.
