hi im 24 and a mum of two (3 as of next year).
i have looked at my local college and wanted to do both hairdressing , barbering and beauty.
im also looking at doing a qualifying hair extensions course with a local company.
my question is...
is there funding for level 1 and 2 courses or would i need to pay for this myself. i know i can get funding for upto 4 level 3 courses with the 24+ loan. but not sure how i would fund the level 1 and 2 courses.
my other option is too do single courses one at a time in beauty treatments and then try and fund level 1 and 2 of the hairdressing and then use the 24+ loan for level 3 hairdressing but this wouldn't give me a fully qualifying qualification in beauty or barbering just hairdressing.
my reason for wanting to become fully qualified in all 3 is because i would like to gain the qualifications in all three, my hope is too one day open a salon and having experience and qualifications in all three i think would be more beneficial in the long run regarding employment and self employment opportunities.
i understand to become qualified in all of the above im looking at 10 years of study and this doesn't bother me..
im hoping someone can guide me on what would be the best and most beneficial option.
once qualified in hair or beauty (whichever i qualify in first) i was going to work part time and study part time for the remaining courses. id also like to do some of the more advanced courses my college offers in the future including make-up and the more advanced cut and color courses.
basically my question is should i do individual beauty qualifications and go down the standard route of college for hairdressing or the standard route for all of it
thankyou for your help
