KIT/ PRODUCTS
If you have read the prospectus regarding all teaching courses you will find that is stated that all products will be provided. This is the case during your teaching hours.
For the majority of courses we provide all the equipment you will need on the day. We advise all students not to purchase products before the course as following it you will be able to make a more knowledgeable and informed choice.
EXCEPTIONS:

HOWEVER
NVQ guidelines state that you are required to have a full PROFESSIONAL kit to practise at home, carry out your case studies and to use during your assessments.
For all ASSESSMENTS you will be required to have your OWN PRODUCTS. We do not specify any brand but they must be a professional range ie. purchased from a trade wholesaler/company in good condition.
HOW DO I GET THESE and WHAT WILL IT COST?
Below are the full kits required per subject. These are available from our wholesaler across the road, AKS Hair and Beauty Ltd.
During your time as a student you will be able to purchase goods from any of their branches in Derby, Tamworth or Burton and on successful completion of your courses AKS Hair and Beauty, will provide you with trade membership card.
