I bumped into an ex student recently. She was a mature student and completed the course although it was touch and go as attendance was an issue. The student was a mature learner and had lots of time off to deal with family probs etc. so she qualified approx 2 years ago. When I bumped into her, I enquired how she was doing and she told me she is now teaching hairdressing in a prison! I was lost for words, no salon experience, no teaching quals or assessor awards although I Would hope she is at least working towards those now but I Was always under the impression you couldn't go into teaching without a minimum of 5 years industry experience!
