Purpose of this frameworkSummary of the purpose of the frameworkNational Apprenticeship Service (NAS) - Statement on Apprenticeship Quality DefinitionAn Apprenticeship is a job with an accompanying skills development programme designed byemployers in the sector. It allows the apprentice to gain technical knowledge and real practicalexperience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job andfuture career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the jobtraining and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. Thisbroader mix differentiates the Apprenticeship experience from training delivered to meetnarrowly focused job needs. All apprentices commencing their Apprenticeship on or after 6thApril 2012 must have an Apprenticeship Agreement between the employer and the apprentice.This can be used to reinforce the understanding of the requirements of the Apprenticeship.This framework provides a nationally agreed apprenticeship framework for a work basedlearning route into employment for the beauty industry, using qualifications that combine bothskills and knowledge.With an increasing number of young people staying on at school, the Intermediate LevelApprenticeship and Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Beauty Therapy provide qualityalternatives leading to the achievement of the Level 2 and/or Level 3 NVQ Diploma.In the UK there are 4,800 beauty salons, 36,000 hairdressing salons (5,800 of which offerbeauty therapy treatments particularly those which, for example, are in hotels and leisurecentres). There has been significant growth in the number of independent nail salons and spafacilities, also in the number of existing beauty therapy salons now offering an extended rangeof services including nail services and spa facilities.Prior to the development of this framework, those who wanted to work in a beauty therapy jobrole had to achieve the NVQ Diploma by attending a full time college based programme. Thisframework will allow for an alternative work based learning route to training in full timeeducation for the beauty therapy industry from Intermediate Level and a progression routefrom Level 2 full time courses to an Advanced Level Apprenticeship.Depending on the pathway followed and level achieved, learners completing an apprenticeshipwill undertake roles such as:Junior beauty therapist, manicurist or skin care and make up consultant (Intermediate Level)11
Beauty Therapist, electrolysist, masseur/masseuse or make-up artists (Advanced Level)Careers may take place in a variety of locations including beauty salons, hospitals, care homes,cruise ships, spas and health clubs or working freelance.Aims and objectives of this framework (England)AIMTo provide a nationally agreed apprenticeship framework for a work based learning route intoemployment in the industry, using qualifications that combine both skills and knowledge andare based on the latest research with employers. There are c11,000 beauty businesses inEngland, employing about 33,000 beauty therapists, plus many more freelance operators.OBJECTIVESTo provide a structured learning programme that meets the needs of employers andemployees.To provide learners with the skills needed to be a professional beauty therapist, able tooffer a wide range of treatments to clients, with a clear understanding of how theirperformance is directly related to the success of the business and their ownremuneration.To increase the level of employer involvement in training and development of their staffin readiness for a fall in the number of school leavers which will create the need torecruit from older age groups.More information about sector priorities can be found on the Habia website at www.habia.orgunder 'Reports and Statistics' and under 'Training and Skills – Sector Qualifications Strategy.'This framework will contribute to the Business, Innovation and Skills Priorities set out in theSkills for Sustainable Growth (2010) and Government's plans to reform adult learning andskills. It will specifically address:FairnessSupporting learners who have not achieved basic skills during their schooling to obtainliteracy and numeracy skills, with Key Skills or Functional Skills accreditation. This willhelp reduce the 16% of adults who do not have Level 1 literacy and numeracy skills.ResponsibilityRequiring apprentices to understand their employment rights and responsibilities and toobtain an understanding of the sector and its career pathways so they can make informedchoices about their future.FreedomProviding clear information for learners about apprenticeships as a pathway from school toemployment and higher education.12
Enabling learners to select training and qualifications valued by business and widelyavailable throughout England because this framework complies with the latestSpecification for Apprenticeship Standards in England and includes the latestqualifications from the Qualification and Credit Framework for England.Skills for GrowthProviding a comprehensive suite of apprenticeship frameworks, of which this is one,covering all the main occupations in the Hair and Beauty Sector, some with a tradition ofentry via apprenticeships, such as hairdressing, and some that do not, such as beautyand spa therapy.Contributing to the growth of apprentices to over 200,000 starts per year by 2014-15 andincreased completions. By expanding the numbers in our non-traditional apprenticeshipsectors we can contribute further to the investment by employers and individuals in skills.Supporting technician level achievement. The sector regards the Advanced Level as thesign of professional stylist, therapist, nail technician etc but this aspiration needs to bereflected in an increase in take up and completion of Advanced Level Apprenticeships.This framework is part of the comprehensive suite of pathways that will encourage thisaspiration and the wider achievement of professional standards.Entry conditions for this frameworkThere are no nationally agreed minimum entry or previous entry requirements for thisframework but the following criteria may be used as guidance.This industry has high client expectations and relies on repeat business so importance is givento:Appropriate personal presentation including clothing, hair and personal hygiene.Practical, organisational and social skills.Attention to detail and cleanliness.A good sense of humour/amicable nature and communication skills whether dealing faceto face with clients or speaking on the telephone.Willingness to work flexible hours/days as agreed in the employment contract.A high degree of dexterity and coordination.Potential apprentices with a predisposition to certain skin conditions or allergies, such asoccupational dermatitis, eczema or asthma, need to understand that some of thechemicals, liquids and aerosols used in beauty therapy may have a significant effect ontheir health.Colour blindness would restrict opportunities in the wide use of artificial colouringproducts and services in the industry. Units relating to make-up application and nail13
services require the ability to recognise tones, shades and changes in a range of colours.Apprentices must always be interviewed by their potential employer and training provider.They may deem enthusiasm and passion for the subject to be more important than formalqualifications. It is for this reason that the Hair and Beauty Sector has chosen not to be overlyprescriptive about entry requirements. The training provider and employer are advised to usea range of initial assessment techniques to identify any additional support needs for theApprentice from the start of the Apprenticeship. This will ensure that those who begin have thepotential to complete the programme.It is advantageous to have had previous experience of working within the beauty therapyindustry.Entry to the beauty therapy framework is usually at intermediate level with progressionto advanced level. In circumstances where previous qualifications or experience havebeen gained it is possible to enter at advanced level and may be preferred by someemployers.14
