In the first year of the course you will study to NVQ 1 Foundation level. The programme gives you the opportunity to learn the basic requirements of a trainee hairdresser in assisting a stylist in the workplace and the technical skills of shampooing, drying hair into shape, neutralising and some colouring techniques. The course is detailed, carefully planned and designed to give you a wide variety of technical skills. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to visit and take part in competitions held throughout the UK and to attend technical seminars on colouring, perming and setting led by technical representatives of one of Europe's leading hair care product manufacturers. There are no formal entry requirements, although you will need an interest in hairdressing with a view to employment in this field.
Selection is by personal interview.
There are excellent opportunities for qualified hairdressers to work in salons, leisure centres, health farms, hotels, and on cruise liners. Others work as technical representatives, consultants or demonstrators. Retail sales is another possibility. You will be expected to undertake occasional home study on this programme. The College is offering this exciting course for today's hair stylists who wish to be at the top of their profession.
