FURTHER INFORMATION
To start at Level 2 you should have at least 3 GCSEs at grade 3 (D/E) or above, including English and maths. In addition to the specified entry requirements, you may be required to undergo an assessment of your English skills to ensure you are at a sufficient level for your chosen course. Start on Level 1 Hair & Beauty, if you do not have the above grades.
Upon completion of this Level 2 course you can progress to either a Level 3 barbering apprenticeship or the full-time hairdressing course. Alternatively, you can move on to other specialist Level 2 and 3 qualifications, such as make-up artistry, theatrical make-up, or part-time courses in hair extensions or African Caribbean hair.
As you are required to have a salon placement running alongside your course, employers will often employ you on successful completion of your qualification.
