New online tutorials for Hairdressing Training

hairdressingHairdressing Training, a vocational online resource funded by JISC, have recently released 19 new videos for the benefit of hairdressing students, professional hairdressers and others working in the health and beauty industry.

The videos, each with an interactive quiz, are predominantly aimed at further education colleges, but are available for anyone who needs guidance and inspiration on many different hairdressing procedures for their professional development.

Laura Skilton, hairdressing training service manager for Hairdressing Training, explains: “The new videos have been created by Hairdressing Training Tutors, meaning that they should meet the needs of both students and teachers, all in a format that is really popular. We are so proud that we can bring these resources together, free of charge through funding by JISC, and can now offer resources to cover the complete NVQ”.

Students have responded well to the online resource, which has had over 670,000 video views since its launch in September 2010.  A site familiar to students, YouTube offers the ideal platform to reach this community. Feedback for the videos has been positive, with one YouTube viewer commenting: "Your videos are ...  so easy to follow and understand.  You make it so simple.  Please keep up the good work!"

Hairdressing Training also encourages feedback from those who teach in hair and beauty courses across the UK.  Jean Sullivan, campus librarian at Carmarthen College said: “I promote this resource during skills sessions to our Hairdressing staff and learners - the learners love it, especially the video aspect as they can play them on their phones when practicing on friends and family.  I have actually had a few learners come back in to the library and ask me to remind them how to get back to this resource!”

The new videos have been produced by Manchester based company Lizardfish, in conjunction with The Manchester College.
