Course programme
A hairdressing apprenticeship is a combination of on and off the job training and learning, and offers the opportunity to develop a rewarding, long-term career in a growing sector.
This qualification is a job-ready qualification for individuals wanting to be a truly proficient professional in hairdressing. It expands on the basic skills of Level 2 and is aimed at those wishing to enter the top level of their profession or who want to go on to become salon managers and owners.
People who have been in the industry for some time but are looking to update or accredit their skills can also take this qualification.
For employers, apprenticeships offer many benefits to businesses, including offering practical solutions to the recruitment and retention of staff.
They are designed by employers for employers and therefore reflect the changing needs of the sector.
