I currently do the VRQ level 2 and to prepare us for NVQ, our college makes us do real clients in our VRQ instead of the training heads because my tutor doesn't see the point in doing training heads. I'm 16 atm. When it's time to do the NVQ level 2 I will be 17.
My tutor was talking to my class today saying the nvq is £1400. We have some older students in my class (we range from 16-22 years old) so I don't know if that was directed towards them or all of us. Will the NVQ still be free as you get education for free till 19 in the uk (with the exception of buying kit & uniform). We got told we could work in a salon after this VRQ but it's incredibly hard as most employers would like the NVQ and VRQ is only very basic hairdressing so I would really like to do the NVQ, my problem is if I have to pay I don't think I'd be able to do the NVQ. I come from a low income family, my mum and sister are registered as disabled and neither of my parents work. I get £400 bursary a year from college but that would no way cover the NVQ cost. I'm not at college till Tuesday so can't ask thought I would post here and ask first as I really do want to get all the qualifications that I can in hairdressing. Thanks
