Course Description

This framework provides a nationally agreed apprenticeship framework for a work-based learning route into employment for the barbering industry, using qualifications that combine both skills and knowledge.

Barbering has a unique position within the hair and beauty sector, as it combines traditional skills such as gentlemen’s cutting with new specialist techniques such as skin fading, creating lines and patterns, colouring and perming.
