Hair and Beauty: Functional/Core Skills for Work

Course outline

Individuals who can analyse and solve problems, communicate well, use information technology and work with others effectively are well-equipped to assume the active, flexible and responsible role which modern workplaces need and society expects.

Employers place a particularly high value on these skills, which is why Tribal has developed a new suite of courses to help learners put their own knowledge and understanding into action and adapt their existing knowledge and skills to the demands of new situations. Tribal’s materials have been mapped to the SCQF and work for both core skills and functional skills.

Hair and Beauty

Who is it for?
