The Diploma For Hair Professional (Hairdressing) Level 2
Formerly NVQ Level 2 Diploma
Ladies Hairdressing Apprenticeship
This Qualification can be taken as a part of a Ladies Hairdressing Apprenticeship, providing the apprentice is working a minimum of 30 hours each week in a Hairdressing salon.
Our Hairdressing Academies in London and Ipswich offer a flexible curriculum for government-funded students, including hands-on creative workshops and demonstrations in our modern, air-conditioned environment. They will spend either one full week at the Academy for each month of their course or 1 day each week. Whether an apprentice is new to the hairdressing world or a qualified hairdresser or barber working towards Level 3 Advanced & Creative Hair Professional (formerly NVQ Level 3), Alan d Hairdressing Education offers all levels of training.
We have a strong reputation for work-based-learning and have been delivering Government-funded apprenticeship training for almost 30 years. Every week a Level 2 Hairdressing Apprentice attends the Academy, their progress is reviewed by one of our team who are happy to help with any problems that may affect learning.
Our Hairdressing Apprentices start cutting hair on their second day of training. During the 3-week (15 day) Induction, Apprentices learn the 9 Alan d Foundation Haircuts together with a variety of finishing techniques before moving on to a further 4 (20 days) weeks of cutting, both on dummy heads and live models. Client care, shampooing and salon etiquette all form part of this module.
Classes then run as follows: 4 weeks (20 days) of setting together with long-hair & perming, 5 weeks (25 days) of colouring and 5 weeks (25 days) of preparing students for the new End-Point Assessment (EPA).
During their time at the Academy, Apprentices work on live models, dummy heads and take online tests towards the completion of their NVQ. In many cases, Apprentices complete their course in less than the prescribed 18-21 months.
Apprentices are assessed to confirm their progress at each stage of the course. It is our policy to fast-track those that perform particularly well and whom we consider to be ready for their End-Point-Assessment (EPA).
The Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professionals includes VTCT online testing to complete the qualification. Alan d & VTCT certification is awarded on completion of the course. Alan d & Central have a well-rehearsed Safeguarding Policy and is an Equal Opportunities organisation.

The employer will be liable for the End-Point-Assessment (EPA) cost, presumed to be approximately £250.
