Minimum Training Hours
The minimum training hours are the total number of hours to be dedicated
to the course.
These are then broken down into the following components:
Contact Hours
This is the time spent with a tutor in class studying the subject
matter within the individual syllabi. It includes both theoretical
and practical time. Where the study is practical, candidates may
work on each other or on clients in order to learn the skills required.
These hours must be accurately recorded in a suitable format and
will be checked at the time of the examinations.
Commercial Salon Environment Hours
A specific number of practical hours must be spent working on clients
within a commercial salon environment. This can be within a working
salon or simulated within the school or college. Preferably the
clients should be external customers, but they may if necessary
be candidates from another group. The candidates must prepare and
plan for the clients’ treatment, greet them, complete a consultation
and record card, advise on home care and see the clients out. These
hours must be accurately recorded in a suitable format and will
be checked at the time of the examinations. Client record cards
and salon lists should be made available to the examiner.
Additional Hours of Study
The additional hours may be allocated to practical or theoretical
work at the schools or colleges discretion. Theory work may be supplemented
by the use of learning packages, library research or homework assignments
for example. Additional practical time may be allocated to the contact
hours or the commercial salon environment hours. In all cases these
hours must be accurately recorded in a suitable format and will
be checked at the time of the examinations. All assignment and research
work should be made available to the examiner.
