City & Guilds Level 2 Principal Learning In Hair & Beauty Studies
1 GCSE A* - C grade
The new qualifications have been added to the original qualifications are still in place. These new qualifications have been added as a direct response to centres to allow more progression and choice for learners.
The new larger diplomas are too big for the pre 16 market but allow a new starting point for full time learners. The new diploma qualifications have new titles which appeal to some centres and learners as they are certificated with the above titles and not introduction into the hair and beauty sector.
The new certificates allow for progression in specific areas. These are suitable for the pre 16 market
Level 4 has been developed to incorporate 4 pathways and a whole host of single unit awards which can be offered of progression and CPD

15. Product Update
Now is an uncertain time for Sector Skills Councils, as the futures of occupational standards hang in the balance. In the past Habia have driven what's needed in an apprenticeship framework, but this could change moving forward.
All roads from different government consultations lead to greater collaboration with the Awarding Organisation and employers together to take ownership of skills and underpinning requirements needed in qualifications. This is why City & Guilds need to work much closer with you, our Industry Forums and employers, to gain feedback on the skills that our industry require, in particular prioritising change to the current qualifications.
We have undervalued our industry over the last 5 years or possibly longer and we now need to put this behind us and put the hair industry back on the map, as an inspirational industry to work in, with young people understanding that there is an enduring career out there if they have the passion, the right values and the right training.
With the change of ownership of the skills quality and standardisation, it is more important than ever to have clear understanding of the skills needed for our sector and to take the core of what is needed for Hairdressers and Barbers in hand as a central pillar of quality from which future qualifications are design are based.
But what does this mean for us?
City &Guilds need to facilitate employer ownership –
> Through accreditation of employer programmes we need work on central
core skills needed in Hairdressing and Barbering to develop the best in industry offer.
> We need to provide the structure needed to define future skills development.
City & Guilds will continue to work in collaboration with Habia, but the key now is for us to work more closely with industry and employers to develop qualifications to meet their needs. Employers moving forward will be instrumental in taking control of what should be in an Apprenticeship.
Richard Review - this has not yet been confirmed, but he wants to give ownership back to the employer, the employer would then work with a training provider to deliver the training and then an independent body and the employer would then be involved in the final synoptic test to decide if the apprentice is then competent to work on the shop floor.
The whole emphasis needs to be focused on training and not on a tick box exercise
