What will I learn?
If you want to learn what it takes to become a successful barber, this NVQ Level 2 Diploma is the perfect place to begin, helping you develop your cutting skills in real, working environments. Covering all the basic skills you’ll need to get started with a career in barbering, you’ll learn how to cut hair with traditional techniques, how to cut and shape beards and how to shampoo, condition, dry and finish men’s hair effectively. You’ll be able to choose certain units you want to focus in too, including changing men’s hair colour, learning how to run a reception properly and how to manage your own business! The course is recognised by the UK’s leading professional authority in the industry, The British Barbering Association (BBA).
