Oracle Training Consultants

Oracle Training Consultants is a specialist hair and beauty training provider whose core business is apprenticeship training. The organisation delivers apprenticeship programmes in hairdressing, barbering, beauty therapy and nail services, combining employment in a salon for at least 30 hours per week with one day per week of off‑the‑job training at Oracle’s training centres. Apprentices typically follow the new Hairdressing Apprenticeship Standards over 18–24 months, completing an end‑point assessment and having the opportunity to progress to Level 3 through an advanced apprenticeship or advanced learner loan route. Beauty apprenticeship pathways start at Level 2 and can progress to Advanced Level 3 in body therapy or nail services. Alongside apprenticeships, Oracle Training Consultants offers traineeship programmes, which blend salon work experience with one day a week training at Oracle to build core employability, customer service and health and safety skills and act as a gateway into apprenticeships. They also provide study programmes for learners not yet ready for employment, focused on Level 2 qualifications and work experience, and advanced learner loan programmes at Levels 3 and 4 in areas such as hairdressing, barbering, nail services, make‑up, assessor and teacher training, with English and maths embedded where required.
