Education leads the way: COVID-19 Infection Control
The government and its scientific advisers are stressing that education is the best way to keep COVID-19 under control. In line with this advice, the COVID-19 Infection Control Course for Hairdressers provides detailed information on the causes, transmission and effects of COVID-19. It offers practical guidance on breaking the chain of infection. For example, through proper hand hygiene, cleaning and the use of PPE. The course also highlights the importance of social responsibility.
“We are delighted with the final design of the Course, and with the response from early users. We are confident our decision to work in parallel with the VTCT(ITEC) specification has resulted in an enhanced contribution to education on COVID-19 infection prevention for the sector”, explains Nick Plunkett, Trichocare’s Managing Director.
The Infection Control Course for hairdressers, tailored specifically to address COVID-19, is divided into 6 Modules. The Modules in this COVID-19 course are organised into Lessons, with content provided in the form of text, illustrations and video. There are knowledge check quizzes in the middle and at the end of each Module. These help learners check their progress.
The Course is certificated for stand-alone study, providing 5 hours CPD. Learners have the added option of taking the Ofqual registered examination through TrichoCare Education on the ITEC platform. It is remotely invigilated by TrichoCare, ensuring that the requirements for the course are met.
