This fully-funded programme is open to:

  • 16–18 year olds

  • 19–24 year olds with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

Over the course of a full academic year, students will:

πŸ’… Gain hands-on training in a real working salon

πŸ“š Learn from fully qualified, industry-experienced tutors

🧠 Receive additional support in Maths and English where needed

🌟 Benefit from small class sizes and personalised mentoring

πŸ’Ό Build employability skills and complete valuable work experience

Students will leave with a recognised qualification and a clear progression route into further education or employment within the beauty and nail industry.

We’re passionate about supporting young people who may not thrive in traditional education settings, and with YMCA’s backing, we can provide bursary support and tailored learning plans to help every student succeed.
