Course Overview
This course will develop and build on the skills that you will have learnt on a Level 2 course, enabling you to become an advanced, highly qualified and professional hairdresser and enhancing the skills needed for employability or university pathways. This programme will consist of theory and practical sessions and will develop your skills in advanced cutting, colour correction and the application of creative colour, style and dressing hair and creative hair design skills.

Course Highlights

You will be given the most wonderful training within the professional Redken range alongside Keracare and Mazani which is delivered as part of your knowledge and understanding of the diverse products that we use at Croydon College.

You will have the opportunity to take part in many internal and external events and competitions which will give you the skills and competitiveness to ensure you are a step ahead when you’re seeking employment within what is a competitive industry. You may be nominated for student of the year which is a very high achievement to have on your CV for future employers. We compete in World skills and Association of Hairdressers and Therapists which are national competitions, where we have successfully reached the UK finals in both.  You will also have the chance to attend hairdressing exhibitions and off-site training sessions to capture a sense of the vibrant and prosperous industry you have chosen to enter.

You will be given the opportunity to gain work experience via a work placement one day per week. This experience will enable you to appreciate the industry and gain invaluable knowledge.

A key distinguishing feature of the college is our links with employers and the ways in which we incorporate this into your learning. Employers attend our popular employability events and you can discuss apprenticeships and progression opportunities in our Employability Hub or in the Apprenticeship Office.
