The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Barbering is a technical qualification that provides students with the knowledge, understanding and skills to work as an employed or self-employed barber. Students will attend College for theory and skills development within our commercial salons. Work placement is an integral component of the course helping students to understand the rigours of running a barbering business. This course is also available as an apprenticeship.
The course combines a large proportion of practical learning with relevant theory components. Students will gain practical skills in creative cutting barbering techniques, shaving services, design of facial hair shapes, creative patterns, specialist hair and scalp treatments. In addition, students will learn the commercial aspects of running a business such as health and safety requirements, consultation, and financial management. These are all important to ensure you are ready to work in the barbering industry.
