Hairdressing Level 3 Diploma
Title and Level: Level 3 Diploma in Hairdressing
Introduction
The Level 3 course replaces the NVQ3 and is based on the National Occupation Standards for Hairdressing. It is a job ready qualification which requires the learners to demonstrate in the workplace skills and knowledge that are required in the Hairdressing Industry. This qualification attests to a high level of occupational competence and the readiness of the successful learner to practice their skills proficiently.
You are required to have achieved a Level 2 in Hairdressing to progress onto this course.
(Evidence to be provided at enrolment).
Work experience or current employment within the Industry is essential to facilitate sufficient practice to support the techniques and theoretical input delivered whilst in College.
You are required to carry out a trade test of colour, cut and blow dry to establish your professional competencies.
Duration
This course is a two year part time course, timetabled for 7 hours delivery on a Wednesday (09:15 - 16:15).
Careers prospects/Progression
This qualification is recognised as a prerequisite for the senior stylists or those aspiring to supervise other stylists. It can be a means to get accreditation for people who have many years of experience but do not currently possess the Industry qualification that verifies their competence.
The qualification provides progression into management or in to a higher level of qualification.
