iTEC is pleased to announce a continued partnership with Pivot Point through the launch of LAB.

Centres can log into LAB here

PIVOT POINT LAB is an Online Learning Platform that is integral to the delivery of iTEC and VTCT Level 2 and 3 Hairdressing and Barbering qualifications, and Level 2 Beauty Therapy qualifications.

This resource has been especially designed with a pedagogical framework and is fundamental to the delivery of these qualifications and their learning and assessment outcomes.

Tutors can use PIVOT POINT LAB as a standalone resource or in collaboration with their personally developed library of resources. The aim is to maximise delivery methods for the benefit of different learning styles. You can take the best from both worlds to create a dynamic and diverse collection of teaching tools.

By selecting from a series of pre-loaded pathways mapped to each qualification PIVOT POINT LAB allows you to create unique, custom learning pathways for every cohort. Tutors also have access to over 40 sets of presentation slides to support classroom delivery.

The first suite of Beauty content has been released on the Pivot Point LAB platform and is now live. Please feel free to contact our Customer Support Team if you have any questions. The areas of study are as follows:

• Educator Resources
• Life Skills
•  Science
• Anatomy
• Salon & Spa Business
• Communication & Consultation
• Skin
• Facial Treatments
• Hair Removal

Four additional areas of study will be added soon: Nails, Makeup, Media Makeup and Eye Treatments. To see the list of accompanying qualifications, click here.

• 24 e-Books covering Hairdressing, Barbering and Beauty Therapy topics
• 29 Resource Maps, available as PDF and Word Documents, to enable tutors to cut and paste or amend the document to create Schemes of Work
