Employers

There are a range of employers supporting the Diploma and young people, which will make it an exciting and motivating experience for the learner.
 

At Foundation level you will be introduced to training, qualification options and career opportunities. You’ll learn how an individual’s personality or culture can be expressed through their appearance, how to manage your hair, skin, hands and nails and what affects consumer spending.

For example, as part of a team, you could look at the different job roles in a salon and decide what changes you would need to make to improve the service you offer to customers.

You could identify suitable requirement of a salon for a specific client group, taking into consideration any special needs this group might have.

You could develop a skin care routine for a friend or family member, after assessing their skin type and lifestyle needs.

  


At Higher level, you’ll be
introduced to the different
professions in detail. You could
investigate cultural and diversity
issues, the science, anatomy
and physiology involved, and the
different consultation techniques
used for each industry.

You could study the make-up and
hairstyling of an ancient civilisation
such as the Romans or Egyptians.

You could carry out a risk
assessment on a local hair and
beauty business.

You could manage bookings and
payments for a salon in your
school or college.

  


At Advanced level, you will
research and evaluate the
business, management,
manufacturing and media
areas of the sector.

You could plan and run an event
that showcases the latest hair
fashions (or double up with a
friend doing the Diploma in
Creative and Media to do a hair
and clothes fashion show!).

You could investigate how new
hair and beauty products are
developed and what influences
that process.

You could make simple skin
products for your own use.
