This micro-credential is designed for flexible online study, allowing you to balance learning with your schedule. Here’s how it works:
1. Practical Training Requirements
You’ll need access to a salon space—either a home salon setup or a commercial salon—where you can safely practice and complete assessments.
All practical work must be recorded via photos and timelapse videos to verify authenticity and technique.
2. Assessment Sign-Off Options
Your work can be signed off by an accredited hairdresser (e.g., a workplace supervisor or qualified professional).
Alternatively, you can submit detailed evidence (photos/videos + written reflections) for trainer review.
3. Live, Interactive Sessions
Join live-streamed classes where you’ll receive real-time feedback, just like on-campus students.
Participate in demonstrations, ask questions, and have your work assessed virtually.
4. Theory & Support
Access all theory materials, videos, and assessments through Pivot Point’s online platform.
Schedule one-on-one support sessions with trainers as needed.
Note: While online study offers flexibility, you’re responsible for arranging a suitable workspace and model clients for assessments.
