Level 2

You will be expected to be in college for a minimum of 3 days per week, from 9:00 to 4:00. Your timetable will be confirmed at induction.

Entry is by interview.
The course requires learners aged 16-18 years to hold the Level 1 Hairdressing Certificate or equivalent qualification.
We accept students, without prior hairdressing experience or qualifications, who have achieved A*-C (4) GCSEs in English, Math and one other subject, as there is a strong emphasis on the personal qualities required to work in a service industry.
Every student who has not achieved the entry requirement is expected to work towards a GCSE Grade C (4) in English and Maths as part of their study programme, if on interview we believe they are suitable for this level programme.
Successful applicants will be required to have current or planned experience working in a salon environment.
Some of the products used in the hairdressing and beauty industry contain nuts and therefore this occupation may not be suitable for those people with an allergy to nuts.
