Academies in Schools

Opening new Academies within schools is the fastest growing part of Dimensions Training Solutions’ business. With Hairdressing Academies already operating within schools in Barnsley, Wakefield, Leeds and Northallerton, we are planning to open further ‘In School’ Hair and Beauty Academies throughout South,
West and North Yorkshire.

If you are still at school and approaching year 10/11 it may be possible for you to attend one of our Academies for up to 2 days a week to follow a hairdressing or beauty qualification. We offer a number of different opportunities for young people at school from basic hairdressing qualifications, through to NVQ Level 1
or VRQ Level 2 and Young Apprenticeship Programmes.

Training will take place at one of our Academies (some of which are actually located in schools!) and will normally be a mixture of practical skills and theory classes which teach you about the hair and beauty industry.

Dimensions Training Solutions have been working with many different schools to develop programmes of learning that not only teach young people about hairdressing or beauty but also help them to get more out of their school work as a result. We have had fantastic achievements with hundreds of young people across Yorkshire who have benefited from joining our schools programmes, achieving qualifications and progressing into Apprenticeships.

14 – 19 Diplomas in Hairdressing and Beauty Studies

Dimensions Training Solutions have been at the forefront of the development of the new 14-19 Diplomas, having an involvement in the design and content from the beginning through to starting the largest cohort of students in the Yorkshire area in September 2009 and 2010.

For schools

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss whether an Academy in your school(which Dimensions fund) or your students attending one of our city centre Academies is best for your school.
