Course programme

On successful completion of all parts of the course and with good attendance, you can progress on to either a VRQ Level 1 Hairdressing programme, a VRQ Level 1 Beauty programme or the VRQ Level 1 Hair & Media Make-up programme.

Hair and Media Make-up can provide an exciting and rewarding career if you are practical and creative and enjoy working with clients. It is a demanding occupation which requires good health, stamina, a capacity for hard work and the ability to work well as part of a team. It will give you an insight into a commercial salon environment.

In addition to the entry qualifications listed, the offer of a place on the course is subject to the outcomes of initial assessment, which will be taken at the College as part of the admissions process. Please note that entry criteria may vary quite significantly between courses at the same level. This is to take account of the specific skills needed for success on particular courses, the length of the course and the requirements for progression to the next level.
