An Ofsted report published last week showcases Andrew Collinge Training as one of 12 outstanding work-based learning providers from across England to achieve excellent results, all have been committed to bringing out the potential of their learners, many of whom had previously not achieved educational success.

Andrew Collinge Training provides work-based hairdressing training in Liverpool, Wirral, Chester, south west Lancashire and Manchester. It has eight salons incorporating two training centres in Liverpool and Birkenhead. The company has been judged to be outstanding for hairdressing in three consecutive inspections, most recently in September 2007.

Andrew Collinge said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been chosen by Ofsted as one of the 12 outstanding work based learning providers in England. I am particularly proud of everyone involved with Andrew Collinge Training, especially as we are the only training provider chosen dedicated to hairdressing.

At Andrew Collinge we believe passionately in delivering quality training. Many of our young people have gone on to achieve successful and rewarding careers within the hairdressing industry. It is our belief that, by sharing our knowledge and expertise to all trainees, employed by ourselves or by other employers, it is beneficial to hairdressing as a whole."

Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Christine Gilbert said:

“These providers display a real drive to inspire, challenge, and support young people and adult learners. While their paths to success may vary, they have each made an important contribution to addressing the critical issue of developing skills for employment, while also helping employers to compete in a tough economic environment.”
