Original buying test
A college system should support the learning objective and the client journey at the same time. Test one appointment from class schedule to completed checkout.
Step 1
Select a service linked to a real class, department, learner level or training module.
Step 2
Confirm the appointment can be assigned to the appropriate learner or group and available teaching period.
Step 3
Check that history, notes and consultation information are available before the practical service.
Step 4
Process the service, retail item or voucher through checkout as the learner would in a working salon.
Step 5
Confirm tutors or administrators can see the appointment, activity and relevant reporting afterwards.
Evidence, context and responsibility
A training salon can mirror professional administration. The college remains responsible for safeguarding, data protection, curriculum design and learner supervision.
