Overview

Starts September and February – Tuesday Evening. You will cover cutting, styling and colouring men’s and women’s hair. You will work on clients in a professional salon environment which will prepare you to work in the industry. You will complete work-related industry placements, which in the past has resulted in our previous students securing themselves employment in the industry.

Four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including a Science subject and preferably the other three remaining to include Mathematics and English.

On this course you will study the following units:

  • Working in the Hair Industry
  • Health and Safety
  • Client Consultation
  • Promote Products
  • Cutting Women’s Hair
  • Art of Dressing Hair

You will be taught in a realistic salon environment by lecturers with a vast experience in the industry. Your practical lessons will be in a fully working salon which is open to the public. You will have the chance to enter into competition work such as L’Oreal and World Skills. You will have practical assessments for each unit to do in the salons and a theory exam for each practical unit.

You will be internally assessed for your practical units and externally assessed for theory exams.

You will be required to purchase a kit and uniform. Students who are in receipt of financial assistance will have support for paying for these items.

On successful completion of this course, you could go on to study Level 3 Hairdressing, Level 2 Barbering, an Apprenticeship or employment.


I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

David Stenning, Public Services student

The teaching and support was really great, the quality was really great, all the teachers really care about your education as well as your wellbeing, they take everything into consideration and they’re great.

Katie Whittingham, A Level student

There are lots of people at the college, each studying a diverse range of courses, people from all different areas come to study here, it creates a sense of community, there is a huge social aspect to college life across all courses.
