Modifications to SASE came into effect on 6th April 2015. The changes ONLY relate to the Transferable Skills requirements of a framework and they ONLY apply to new Apprenticeship starts on, or after, 6th April 2015. Apprenticeships started before this date must continue to meet the 2013 SASE requirements for Transferable Skills.

The modifications removed the “5 year rule”, meaning that acceptable qualifications, achieved before September 2012, are now in scope. This includes iGCSEs, A and AS Levels, O Levels and Key Skills. However, there are still minimum grade/level requirements that need to be achieved, depending on the level of Apprenticeship being undertaken. There have also been some changes to the minimum grade/level requirements which, in summary are:

Intermediate Apprenticeship: GCSE/iGCSE/A and AS Levels - minimum acceptable grade is now E, irrespective of achievement date (for ALL acceptable GCSEs/iGCSEs/A/AS Levels)

Key Skills - minimum acceptable is Level 1, irrespective of achievement date

O Levels – minimum acceptable grade is C, irrespective of achievement date

Advanced Apprenticeship: GCSE/iGCSE - minimum acceptable grade is now C, irrespective of achievement date (for ALL acceptable GCSEs/iGCSEs)

A/AS Level - minimum acceptable is grade E, irrespective of achievement date

Key Skills - minimum acceptable is Level 2, irrespective of achievement date

O Levels - minimum acceptable grade is C, irrespective of achievement date

Higher Apprenticeship: There remains no mandatory requirement for Transferable Skills qualifications to be achieved.

Please note that some frameworks may have grade/level requirements that are above the SASE minimum requirements.Please check the framework to ascertain where this is the case and/or check directly with the specific Issuing Authority responsiblefor the framework.

The updated version of SASE, and guidance documents, can be accessed here: http://afo.sscalliance.org/SASE

PLEASE NOTE THAT THAT THE NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFERABLE SKILLS, AS DETAILED ABOVE, OVERRIDETHE NOTES AND GRADES/LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSFERABLE SKILLS TABLES, WITHIN THIS DOCUMENT. Until the Transferable Skills tables can be updated, any references to “achieved before Sept 2012 and within 5 years of starting Apprenticeship” or “achieved before September 2012, otherwise at any time prior to starting Apprenticeship” can now be ignored.

Over the next few months, the Transferable Skills section within AFO will be amended to reflect the SASE modifications and all current frameworks will be updated and reissued to incorporate these changes. In the meantime, if you are in any doubt as to the requirements of any framework then please contact the relevant Issuing Authority.

Purpose of this framework

Summary of the purpose of the framework

National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) - Statement on Apprenticeship Quality Definition

An 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 hairdressing industry, using qualifications that combineboth skills and knowledge. Apprenticeships are the traditional way for training hairdressers.

In the UK there are over 35,700 hairdressing salons employing 200,000 people. There is avariety of salon types. All salons offer cutting, styling and chemical services. Some salons offerservices to both ladies and men. With the growth of clients with different types of hair, there isa need to develop the skills to work on all hair types from Type 1 - Straight hair through toType 4 - Excessively curly hair, this numerical system of hair typing was established to simplifydescribing types of hair and to provide more exact definition for the hair type. This is reinforcedthrough the standards, to give the skills need in the hairdressing industry to deal with clientswith all hair types.

In common with most sectors dominated by small and micro-businesses, there is a relativelyhigh turnover of staff in the hairdressing industry. The Skills Foresight Report for 2007indicates that the annual staff turnover for the hairdressing industry is 29%. The femaledominated aspect and the young age profile (83% aged under 26) of the workforce inevitablymeans that women leave the industry to start a family. However, most return to the sectoraged between 35-44. In addition to this, a high number of people leave to become selfemployed and open their own businesses. Therefore, new apprentices are always required fornew businesses, for staff replacement and for succession planning purposes.

Depending on the optional units which are chosen from the mandatory qualifications and thelevel achieved, learners completing an apprenticeship will undertake roles such as:

Junior Hairdresser/Stylist (Intermediate Level)Hairdresser or Stylist (Advanced Level)




Hairdresser or Stylist (Advanced Level)

Careers may take place in a variety of locations including working in hairdressing salons, spas,hospitals, care homes, prisons, department stores, hotels, airlines and holiday resorts.

Aims and objectives of this framework (England)

AIM

To provide a nationally agreed apprenticeship framework for a work based learning route intoemployment in the industry using qualifications that combine both skills and knowledge whichare based on the latest research with employers. There are over 35,700 hairdressing salons inthe UK employing about 200,000 people.

OBJECTIVES

To provide a structured learning programme that meets the needs of employers andemployees.To provide learners with the skills needed to be a professional hairdresser, able to offer awide range of treatments to clients, with a clear understanding of how their performanceis directly related to the success of the business and their own remuneration. To increase the level of employer involvement in training and development of staff inreadiness for a fall in the number of school leavers which will create the need to recruitfrom 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 Governments plans to reform adult learning andskills. It will specifically address:

Fairness

Supporting 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.

Responsibility

Requiring 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.

Freedom

http://www.habia.org




Providing clear information for learners about apprenticeships as a pathway from schoolto employment and higher education.Enabling learners to select training and qualifications which are valued by business andwidely available throughout England because this frameworks complies with the latestSpecification for Apprenticeship Standards in England and includes the latestqualifications from the Qualifications and Credit Framework for England.

Skills for Growth

Providing 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 growth of apprentices to over 200,000 starts per year by 2014-15 andincreased investment in skills. The Hair and Beauty Sector has always been in the TopTen sectors for starts and completions. By expanding the numbers in our non-traditionalapprenticeship sectors we can contribute further to the investment by employers andindividuals in skills.Supporting technician level achievement. The sector regards the Advanced Level as thesign of a professional stylist, therapist or nail technician, 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 requirements for this frameworkbut the following criteria may be used as guidance.

Because the industry has high client expectations and relies on repeat business importance isgiven to:

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 hairdressing may have a significant effect on theirhealth condition.Colour blindness would restrict opportunities in the wide use of artificial colouringproducts and services in the industry. Units relating to colouring hair require the abilityto recognise very subtle tones, shades and changes in a range of colours to ensure thesafe and effective use of chemicals used on hair.

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 use a range of initial assessment techniquesto identify any additional support needs for the Apprentice from the start of theApprenticeship. This will ensure that those who begin have the potential to complete theprogramme.

It is advantageous to have previous experience of working within the barbering or hairdressingindustry.

Entry to the hairdressing framework is usually at intermediate level with progression toadvanced level. In circumstances where previous qualifications or experience have beengained it is possible to enter at advanced level.

Employee rights and responsibilitiesAll apprentices must understand their rights and responsibilities with regards to equalopportunities and health and safety. It is important that all apprentices receive a thoroughinduction into their organisation. In the Hair and Beauty sector evidence of delivery ofEmployee Rights and Responsibilities (ERR) is a mandatory requirement for a frameworkcompletion certificate.

This may be evidenced either through:

an appropriate Awarding Organisation ERR qualification. Four qualifications have beenapproved and accredited to date, these are;

Edexcel Level 2 Award in WorkSkills for Effective Learning and Employment 501/1793/21.VTCT Level 2 Award in Employment Awareness in the Hair and Beauty Sector 600/1762/42.City and Guilds Level 2 Award in Employment and Personal Learning at Work 600/2831/23.ITEC Level 2 Award in Employment Awareness in the Hair and Beauty Sector 600/2308/94.

an in house system, such as a workbook, portfolio or online system, that meets theminimum evidence requirements, oran externally provided system, such as a workbook, portfolio or online system that meetsthe minimum evidence requirements, orHabia's ERR workbook.

The evidence requirement to demonstrate satisfactory completion of ERR is:

a completion certificate from an Awarding Organisation,or for an in house or externally provided system, completion of the ApprenticeDeclaration & Authorisation Form is required. It is not necessary to send the workbook orportfolio at certification, though this should be retained by the provider for auditpurposes.

Apprenticeship Certificates are claimed through Apprenticeship Certificates England (ACE). Forfurther information about certification requirements visit: acecerts.co.uk/web/

The course of training in ERR must align to the nine national outcomes which are set out in theSpecification of Apprenticeship Standards for England (SASE).

Health and Safety is embedded within the technical units in the NVQ Diploma. The otherrequirements will be covered primarily at induction, with the remaining aspects delivered atappropriate times during the Apprenticeship programme.

The remaining sections apply to all levels and pathways within this framework.

How equality and diversity will be metThe Hairdressing Apprenticeship will promote diversity, opportunity and inclusion by offeringhigh quality learning.

Delivery of the Apprenticeship Framework must be in an environment free from prejudice anddiscrimination where all learners can contribute without fear of persecution or bullying.

There must be no overt or covert discriminatory practices in selection and recruitment ofApprentices to the programme. The programme is available to all people, regardless of gender,ethnic origin, religion, belief, sexual orientation or disability who meet the standard selectioncriteria.

Issues:

Limited availability of teaching and assessment of specific African type hair skills.

Barriers:

Stereotyping still exists in the hair and beauty sector, which can limit the number ofapplications from young males.Specialist African Caribbean hair salons tend to be located within a small number of citiesacross the UK.Low initial earning potential for new recruits.Misunderstanding of the skills levels required and the complexity of those skills.

Actions:

Habia seeks to use as many positive male images in its literature and publications aspossible.Development of African type hair standards and frameworks.Specific National Occupational Standards and Rules of Combination have been developedfor Hairdressing covering all hair classifications.
