Apprenticeship Areas

Hairdressing and Barbering is a vibrant fast-paced industry, with many career paths and opportunities where you will never stop learning. For example, you could be working in a busy salon, doing editorial work, or travelling the world. 

Apprentices attend college 1 day a week to complete some of the 20% off the job training. This includes professionalism, safe practices and behaviours of hairdressing and barbering, as well as theory and practical skills like shampooing, styling, cutting, colouring and perming.
