Role of the RTA

The Role of the Regional Training Advisor

The Regional Training Advisor team is a highly qualified, experienced and totally committed group of people that form the crucial link between the Programme Director and each salon or centre we work with. This ensures a vital line of communication that allows information about the operation of the programme to pass both to and from the salon or centre and the programme leadership team.

Regional Training Advisors make regular visits to each salon or centre and during these visits, hold meetings with Candidates in order to assess their progress, guide and encourage them and identify any problems that may be building. The Regional Training Advisor also meets regularly with those responsible for co-ordinating and delivering training in the salon or centre and with the salon or centre assessors. The aim is to ensure that, at all times, the centre is operating to the national standards for hairdressing National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Key or Core Skills and is fully meeting the requirements of the various funding bodies we deal with such as the Learning and Skills Council, etc.

Above all, Regional Training Advisors - as indicated by their role title - are advisors and as such they will offer the Head of Centre, the salon or centre team and each Candidate, practical help and guidance on all aspects of the planning, organisation, delivery, assessment, and control of high quality NVQ training.
