What's it all about?

Ready to jumpstart your career while learning and earning at the same time? An Apprenticeship is a great way for you to dive straight into your chosen career. You’ll split your time between learning on the job with experienced professionals and attending the College to gain essential knowledge. It’s hands-on, practical, and you’ll be earning a qualification while you work. Expect to build real skills, make connections, and have fun getting a head start in your future career!

As an Advanced and Creative Hair Professional apprentice, you’ll work independently and as part of a team, delivering top-quality service and continuously honing your skills. Your responsibilities may include creating innovative, fashion-forward hairstyles, managing client lists, and maintaining high standards in diverse environments. This Apprenticeship offers a dynamic range of experiences to develop your expertise in the hair profession.

Course information

This Apprenticeship will cover various areas, including:

  • customer consultations
  • advanced creative techniques
  • colour correction
  • cutting-edge hair styling.
This Apprenticeship spans 12 months, combining practical work experience with study. At least 20% of your time will be dedicated to off-the-job training, where you will gain valuable knowledge and skills through structured learning and hands-on practice. The remaining 80% will be spent working within a salon, applying your learning to real-world hairdressing tasks such as client consultations, advanced colouring, and creative styling techniques.

For the best chance of success, a hair professional qualification or an equivalent certification is recommended.

The end point assessment consists of three components: a knowledge test, observation and questioning and a professional discussion. 

Following successful completion, you could progress onto employment within the sector. This could include taking on roles such as a creative hair stylist, advanced senior stylist, senior hair professional or specialist technician.
