About this course

Level 3 Barbering Course in Doncaster. Part-time daytime barbering classes run at Oracle Training Doncaster, one day a week over a year. This level 3 barbering qualification is designed for people who already hold a Level 2 Hairdressing or Barbering qualification, or have relevant practical experience in a salon or barbershop. You'll develop advanced technical skills across a range of barbering services, building the expertise to work as an employed or self-employed barber.

The VTCT Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Barbering is an occupational qualification that provides you with the knowledge, understanding and skills to work as an employed and/or self-employed barber able to work on hair combining a variety of different technical skills. This qualification is ideal for those who hold a hairdressing or barbering qualification and work in a commercial barbershop/salon.
