In England you can get info from
your local college. I had a lady pop into salon with info, she told me it has changed recently. You pay them £90 a week and after 20 weeks the government give you £1000.
Don't know if it's the same in Scotland because your government makes it's own decisions on particular issues!

In England the £1000 the Government give you is subject to area 
, very annoying! They have changed the rate you pay and apprentice too, in England, to £2.50 and hour.
I have always employed the apprentice first, then run the local college to get training an information on how to proceed, as it is always changing!

I'm not sure about Scotland but in England the salon pays a fee (£100) to the recognised college/training school (so I have been told). Salon owner pays the apprentice £2.50 an hour. This has recently changed it was £95.00 for up to a 40-45 hour week and you have to bear in mind the age of the apprentice and keep within those guidelines.
The college/training school will visit the salon and check Health & Safety procedures in place at the salon your working in.
We will be putting our Saturday girl through an apprenticeship when she leaves school this year. I understand you apply nearer their school leaving date and fill in relevant forms etc.
Could you approach the salon owner where you currently work, they maybe aware of all the rules and regulations. Especially if they have put previous staff members through an apprenticeship in the past.
You could maybe try www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId...type...
(I'm not sure if covers Scotland though)

I think this probably applies from college to college. I have never had to pay anything to my local college.
It turns out that i'm too old to be any kind of apprentice at the ripe age o 28, I either have to go to college full time and pay fee s as have done an svq for beauty therapy or het into a salon that has a assesor for hairdressing and pay fee s to be certificated, o well

Ooh, thank you for that. I phoned a training school last week and that's what they told me. In fact they said it had gone up from £80 to £100 so will have to look further into it
