Adult Learning - Discount Card

Adult Learning Discount Card


We are now able to offer all of our NVQ/VRQ Hair & Beauty learners (Gateshead Council Funded) with the National Union of Students (NUS).

 

This means that any learner on a Gateshead Council funded programme purchasing an NUS card (£12) would be entitled for discounts.

 

To register for card learners need to go to www.nus.org.uk and click on Buy Now on the right hand side of the screen, enter an email address and then type in the provider name which is Gateshead Council Learning and Skills.

 

Learners will then need to enter when their course starts and ends and the type of course they are studying. They can then choose which type of card they want and for how long and then upload a photo. Once they have completed a few personal details their card will be processed.  The cards are then sent to Gateshead Adult Learning to be distributed so it would be helpful if you could send ALD Hair & Beauty Academy your details so they know which provider to send the cards to.

Community Project, Mary Sanders at Birtley Friday 28th February 2014

Community Project, Mary Sanders at Birtley Friday 28th February 2014
 
We attended a community project day for Mary Sanders at Birtley organised by TW Skills on Friday 28th February.  A couple of of tutors attended along with some of our students to provide nail treatments and hand massages as well as back massage treatments.
 
It was a lovely day with plenty of bookings and lots of hands on experience for our students.  Our students attend with us on Study Programme and are currently working towards their level 1 Introduction to the hair & beauty sector so to be able to provide services of the skills they are currently learning is great for them in confidence building etc.
 
Well Done ladies!
