Created to meet the needs of full time students or apprentices, the programme gives students an extended qualification linked to the hairdressing industry and empowers their   employment opportunities with an ABLE certificate alongside the traditional NVQ or  technical  qualification. Through a series of educational tools, including exclusive online training and inspirational events, the programme is a first in the industry.

Andrew said, “After decades of hearing the debate in the industry about raising standards, I decided there was a need to develop and offer a link between industry and further education. ABLE will not only lift the experience and aspirations of students, but also support lecturers in their pursuit to offer quality education and develop the skill set of the hairdressers of the future.

I’m  delighted  that  the  ABLE  scholarship  will  first launch in  September, in  my  home  town  of Barnsley, and at the very college where I qualified as a trainee hairdresser 30 years ago.”

The ABLE scholarship, created and presented by Andrew, is set to roll out at various institutions nationwide over the next three years, with a target to become a British product of excellence and exported internationally.

Sarah Seaman, General Manager of ABLE, who as spent her career in the hairdressing and further education industry said:

“ABLE is an innovation in further education. It will help students expand their hairdressing skills and  commitment  to  quality. Plus it will enhance their learning by participating in an  exclusive training programme developed by Andrew,  improving their skill set and their long   term employability. Our industry is challenged by the levels of entry and this initiative is a  huge step forward in the progression of the hairdressing industry and its future hairdressers. Andrew is passionate about the future careers of young people, the recognition of  hairdressing as a profession and improving industry standards and it’s been a pleasure to  see his vision come to life.”
