About this course

Level 4 Advanced Techniques and Management Practice in Hairdressing Course in Winchester. Classes run at Peter Symonds College Stoney Lane Campus, part-time during the day. Entry requires a Level 3 qualification in Hairdressing or equivalent, so this course is designed for experienced professionals already working in a salon, possibly in a supervisory or managerial role. Over one year, you'll develop advanced technical skills alongside the business and management knowledge needed to run a salon, manage staff, and grow a hairdressing business.

Who this course is for

The Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Techniques and Management Practice in Hairdressing course (VTCT), is ideal for experienced and qualified hairdressing professionals who work unsupervised, possibly in a supervisory or managerial role, and have a high level of relevant knowledge and skills.

This qualification can help you set up and run your own hairdressing business. You will gain the skills to manage staff and resources, learn how to develop and promote your business, and develop your technical skills.

PLEASE NOTE: This course will include online as well as classroom based sessions

Entry requirements

The qualification is suited for experienced and qualified hairdressing professionals who have specific roles within a salon. Applicants should have a Level 3 qualification in Hairdressing or equivalent.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop advanced colouring, cutting, and styling techniques beyond Level 3 standard.
  • You'll learn how to manage salon staff, rotas, and day-to-day operations.
  • You'll build skills in business planning, marketing, and promoting a hairdressing business.
  • You'll learn how to manage resources, stock, and salon finances.
  • You'll develop your ability to work unsupervised and take on supervisory or managerial responsibility.
  • You'll learn how to maintain professional standards and support the development of junior team members.

How you will learn

Learning takes place in the classroom and in a salon environment at Peter Symonds College Stoney Lane Campus. Assessment is practical and knowledge-based, reflecting the vocational nature of the VTCT qualification. You'll be assessed on your technical hairdressing skills and your understanding of management practice. Your assessor will observe your work and review evidence you build up over the course of the year.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Peter Symonds College Stoney Lane Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Salon manager: oversee staff, operations, and client experience
  • Senior hairdresser: lead stylist with advanced technical responsibilities
  • Hairdressing educator or assessor: train and assess junior stylists
  • Salon owner: run your own hairdressing business independently
  • Brand educator: deliver training for a product or tool brand
  • Freelance hairdresser: work independently across multiple locations

What you could study next

If you want to move further into education or business, a Level 5 qualification in education and training could open doors to teaching hairdressing professionally. A business or management qualification at Level 4 or 5, such as a CMI Diploma in Management and Leadership, could complement your hairdressing expertise if you're building or running a salon. Some hairdressers also pursue assessor awards (such as a Level 3 Award in Education and Training) to qualify as a hairdressing assessor or trainer.
