With a 72% market share, City & Guilds is the market leader in providing hairdressing and barbering qualifications in the UK and delivering qualifications to over 15,000 students per year.
In September 2014, City & Guilds teamed up with Myhairdressers.com to launch the MHDAcademy. Designed to bring training for hair and barbering students into the 21st century digital world, ensuring they are up to date on all the latest trends. The City & Guilds MHDAcademy.com resource is now proving just as popular with over 60% of centres now on board and some colleges have made the resource a mandatory part of training for all trainers and students.
The two companies united their existing portfolios to offer innovative and high quality professional video-based resources online. Providing training on the latest techniques, qualification performance criteria and knowledge are accessible via computer, tablet and mobile phone, this means easy access to 937 videos, with 1715 supporting PDFs, schemes of work, lesson plans, step by steps, head sheets, and a range of other support resources, bringing the classroom into the salon for the first time.
Diane Mitchell, Portfolio Advisor for Hair and Beauty from City & Guilds, said: “City & Guilds continually strives to offer the very best in training, using the latest technology to ensure our students are prepared for work in today’s salon. MHDAcademy.com offers students access to the best hairdressers in the world, creating a benchmark in training standards – and this is the reason it has become one of the best performing resources we offer colleges for Hair and Barbering. Our trainers and students love it – and as it can be continuously updated it will never be out of date.”
