Pathway of Study Options
APPRENTICESHIP PATHWAY
Apprenticeships are suited to people who want to combine hands-on learning in a salon environment with a slower pace of practical and theoretical study. Choosing this path means you’ll learn on the job, under the guidance of an employer, and attend a formal training academy one day per week with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) such as WA Academy.
ACCELERATED LEARNING PATHWAY
This fast track course is comprehensive, taking just 1 year to become qualified and ready for work. You’ll learn theory and practical hairdressing skills under the guidance of expert trainers. Our graduates enjoy a range of career opportunities after completing their qualification, including employment in barber shops, entrepreneurship by starting their own home-based businesses, or exploring various paths within the barbering and hairdressing industry to align with their passions and aspirations.
