Why the GLAM 70-20-10 Framework Model Works
Unlike conventional learning methods that place a strong emphasis on theory, our training approach is centred around practical, hands-on experience designed to equip students with the real-world skills they need to succeed in the beauty industry. We believe that true learning comes from doing, which is why our courses are structured to provide learners with the opportunity to practise techniques, build confidence, and gain valuable industry insight from day one.
Our goal is not only to help students achieve their qualifications but to ensure they leave our programmes feeling fully prepared for the next step in their careers. By the time they complete their course, our learners don’t just walk away with a certificate—they graduate with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to work confidently in salons, start their own freelance beauty businesses, or even establish their own training academies. We are committed to helping every student turn their passion into a professional path.
