To gain the skills you need to work in a hairdressing salon or barber shop -our qualifications cover a wide range of skills from shampooing, cutting, perming and styling to advanced colour correction.
A Hairdressing NVQ is for anyone who is serious about hairdressing or barbering career. There are options to suit individual needs and aspirations – and if you are already working in hairdressing, you could develop your skills to become a senior stylist.
Level 2 & 3 qualifications can be done as an NVQ or as an Apprenticeship in The Sutton District Training purpose built Salon or in an outside salon.
NVQs are assessed at work or in a realistic working environment. For each unit, an assessor observes you carrying out different services and checks your understanding. This information will be recorded in your logbook, which then provides formal evidence of your learning.
For these qualifications, you will practise hairdressing, learn the knowledge required and organise your own study. You will record your achievements in a logbook packed with hints and tips from industry experts.
