For more details on the Level 3 Advanced Beauty Therapist Apprenticeship standard specification please see the following link: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/advanced-beauty-therapist-v1-0

Apprentices have to be a UK resident or have either UK Settled Status or have indefinitely leave to remain and be able to be employed within the UK. Apprentices must also live in England and their place of employment must also be based in England for at least 50% of their employed time and must be able to attended possible weekly classroom-based lessons held at the college based in central London.

The completion of a Beauty Therapy Level 2 Apprenticeship Standard or equivalent vocational / technical qualification is essential to have the fundamental foundation of skills and knowledge for the job role.

English and maths is an integral part of delivering apprenticeships in the UK. An apprentice without a grade C / 4 or above in GCSE English and/or maths or equivalent functional skills at level 2, would need to continue their studies of English and Maths as part of their apprenticeship. Employers must allow time apprentice for this is be undertaken. An apprentice would need to provide evidence that they have achieved at least functional skills or equivalent in English and Maths in order to achieve the apprenticeship.

An apprenticeship is a great paid work opportunity for people over the age of 16 in England who are:

• early in their career
• looking to upskill in their current job
• looking for a career-change
• not in full-time education

At least 20% of the time the apprentice is employed (approx 1 day a week), it is a statutory requirement for the apprentice to undertake training from the training provider during normal working hours, for the purpose of learning and achieving the knowledge, skills and behaviours required in order to successfully complete the apprenticeship. By normal working hours, it is meant as paid hours excluding overtime. For the Advanced Beauty Therapist Level 3 standard this would be 1 day a week undertaking college directed learning.

The Advanced Beauty Therapist apprenticeship standard level 3 is a 18 month apprenticeship programme (excluding the End Point Assessment (EPA)). Apprentices would normally be employed for a minimum of 30 hours a week and spend at least 1 full day a week of their employment at college and/or undertaking directed learning.

End-point assessment (EPA) tests the knowledge, skills and behaviours that an apprentice has gained during their training. To achieve the apprenticeship qualification the EPA demonstrates the competence of an apprentice in their role. EPAs are carried out after 18 months have been completed and by an End Point Assessment Organisation independently to LCBT.

The gateway takes place before an EPA can start. The employer and LCBT will review the apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours to see if they have met the minimum requirements of the Advanced Beauty Therapist Level 3 apprenticeship set out in its standard, and are ready to take the assessment.

Beauty Therapist apprentices are provided with a uniform, kit & materials after 6 weeks of starting an apprenticeship programme. This is alongside the provision of equipment and products to be used when at the College which will be essential for their studies. There are several suppliers we work alongside that also give a discount to learners, therefore kit can be personally topped up throughout the course. Each learner’s kit includes a full range of equipment and products for the course as well as a bag for kit storage.
