Hairdressing

The Hair Professional (Hairdressing) Level 2 qualification is the main starting point of a long lasting career in the hairdressing industry. This qualification confirms that apprentices have developed the skills and knowledge of client consultation, shampoo, conditioning and treatments, blow drying, styling and dressing hair, colour and colouring technique and cutting & presenting the finished look. There are optional units in perming hair and a basic understanding and working with extensions.

The conclusion and achievement of the qualification is decided by an independent assessor (on behalf of the awarding body), grading qualification at either PASS or DISTINCTION  level at End Point Assessment.

Upon achievement, apprentices are welcomed to further develop their skills working toward Level 3 Standard Qualification: Advanced and Creative Hair Professional where skills are developed to the advanced Level. Also assessed at End Point Assessment, this qualification allows you to develop your confidence an abilities to that higher level to allow your career to flourish.

Barbering

The Level 2 Barbering course runs every Tuesday. Learners completing their Level 2 or 3 Hairdressing can also progress onto barbering, and may have the option of completing a shorter length course (Employers broaden the skills of Hairdressing stylists as they learn and gain the full skills and knowledge of Barbering).

The Hair Professional (Barbering) Level 2 qualification develops the skills and knowledge of apprentices in the essential barbering skills of cutting men’s hair using basic techniques, cutting facial hair to shape, providing shaving services, drying and finishing men’s hair, and creating basic outlines and detailing in hair.
