Course Introduction

Vocational Tasters offer learners a concrete introduction to a range of employment sectors. Ideal for learners following an alternative progression route, these courses help learners to make progress towards their personal learning and career aims.

Increasing learners’ knowledge of different employment sectors will help them to make informed and long-lasting decisions about their post-16 destinations.

The Hair and Beauty Vocational Taster has been written in collaboration with Kay Morris of Vocational Training Solutions. It contains modules in: customer service; nail services; basic hairdressing techniques; basic facial treatments; health and safety in hair and beauty; careers in hair and beauty.

This course can be completed using the student book or is available for learners to complete online through the ASDAN e-portfolio system. Learners log in to complete challenges, record skills development and upload evidence. Tutors can view learner progress and sign off work, leaving feedback as needed.
