The OCNW Certificate in Salon Work gives the learner an excellent introduction to the Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy occupational areas in order that they may make decisions on whether to progress with further training and employment within these areas. This qualification also promotes the development of wider employment skills, emphasising the importance of appropriate conduct and dress within a work area, customer service, customer care and safe working practice.
