Our Story
25 years of developing hair & beauty talent
Oracle Training Consultants began in 1999 above a supermarket in Doncaster's busy market place, with only 4 staff and 18 learners. Founded by Director Diane Logan, Oracle was built on a passion for high quality training and genuine care for its learners.
Twenty-five years later, Oracle offers places to over 250 learners annually across two state-of-the-art training centres in Doncaster and Rotherham, supported by more than 150 local employer partners.
Provision spans study programmes, apprenticeships, Advanced Learner Loan funded qualifications and commercial short courses, across hairdressing, barbering, beauty, nails and make-up. Whichever route a learner takes, the recruitment team helps them settle on the right one before they enrol.
What has not changed since 1999 is who Oracle trains for. Many former learners now run salons of their own and take on Oracle apprentices, and some have come back as assessors and teacher trainers. That is the measure the team pays attention to.
