Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide you ideally need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths.
If you are 19 or over, functional skills are not required unless requested by the apprentice’s employer.
However, we will work with you and provide additional support in order to help you achieve the functional skills element or GCSE requirements of the Apprenticeship. Support can be delivered either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. You need to be passionate about a career in hairdressing and be employed in the industry.
