Description
A Michael John of Liverpool Apprenticeship in Beauty Therapy means you will be placed in a salon whilst you are learning. As well as taking qualifications in Beauty Therapy you will also cover 'key' skills that are essential for a successful career in the Industry.
Your training programme will be planned to suit your individual needs and generally structured to enable you to attend a Michael John training centre for two to three days per week - to be reduced as soon as is possible to one day per week with four days spent in the salon placement to increase your opportunity of becoming employed.
As you progress you will develop the skills & knowledge required to become a competent, fully qualified and successful beauty therapist. On course completion you will also have built an impressive portfolio demonstrating your skill in the following areas:
- Health and Safety
- Communicating with clients and colleagues
- Day/ Evening makeup application
- Manicure and Pedicure
- Using numbers to support salon activities
- Improvement of facial skin condition
- Enhancement of eyebrows and eyelashes.
- Waxing treatments
- Reception and consultation skills
- Teamwork and personal effectiveness
How Will I Be Assessed?
In college you will receive half a day practical training and half a day theory training.
In your practical class you will be observed doing practical tasks for each unit you are doing and will also do two theory tests on each unit you complete.
Your assessment will be against National Standards leading towards a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ).
Each learner will be given an individual learning plan which will be reviewed on a 6 weekly basis throughout training. Reviews will be carried out alternately within your training centre or salon placement.
During the 12 weekly visits to your salon, we will assess how you are being treated, coping with your work and that you are enjoying the programme.
Is There Anything Else I Need To Know?
All the products and materials you will need are provided within our training centres FREE OF CHARGE.
You will also have had the opportunity to participate in our Annual Hair & Beauty Competition and/or attend North West Hair & Beauty Exhibitions.
Payment: you will receive EMA if you are entitled to it. It is expected that your salon placement will offer you employment within 6 months of your programme led apprenticeship, and at this time you should receive no less than £95 per week. (This cannot be guaranteed but Michael John of Liverpool employer engagement staff will endeavour to ensure you gain employment at some point during your course).
If you are not entitled to EMA you will not be entitled to a bus pass, however, Michael John of Liverpool can provide you with an Arriva bus pass at a cost of £10 per week.
