About this course

Free Level 1 Hairdressing and Barbering Course in Worksop. Classes run at Nottinghamshire Training Group, part-time during the day, once a week. You can attend for both practical and theory training, or combine workplace training with a monthly theory session at the centre. This hairdressing and barbering course runs over 12 months and covers the core skills needed to start working in a salon or barbershop. It's a solid first step toward a hairdressing and barbering qualification at Level 2 and beyond.

Who this course is for

Learners who are ready to take their first steps into hairdressing.

Workplace learner - attend the centre once a month for your theory learning. All practical training is delivered within the workplace

Entry requirements

To enrol on a Level 2 course you will need at least a level 1 qualification in maths and English, although this may depend on the employer. To enrol on a level 3 qualification/apprenticeship you will need to have completed a level 2 Hair Professional qualification or have equivalent industry experience
