FAQ’s

What is HITO Headstart?

HITO Headstart is a programme designed to help you settle in to your apprenticeship smoothly, and provides another avenue for you to have any questions answered, figure out how to make the apprenticeship work for you and receive tips and advice on how to make the most of your journey to becoming 100% qualified.
With weekly Zoom check-ins, one of our experienced staff at HITO will talk with you about learning styles, self-motivation, and the expectations of the programme, as well as talking about your assessments. After three months, your Sales and Training advisor will be ready to see you in your first Training Site Visit and will see you through to the end of the qualification.

Who can take part?

HITO Headstart is available to all new beauty therapy apprentices. Whether you are signing in to your first year or second year, if you’re brand new to the apprenticeship programme, you are eligible to take part.

Where are the conversations to take place? How long will they be?

The one-on-one sessions are all virtual, and take place using Zoom, so you can check in with HITO from anywhere! These chats could be anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes, it’s all up to you! While we will have a general topic to cover, if you want to discuss things in more or less detail, we are here to do that for you!
