Hairdressing – Level 3 Diploma – September Start
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.
4 GCSEs grade 9-4 (A*-C) and a related Level 2 vocational qualification (at merit or higher), including English and maths. Equivalence of these qualifications will be considered.
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.
On completion of this course, you will be fully qualified as an advanced hairdresser so you can enter the workforce. Alternatively, you can continue your study by going to university.
Practical assessments will take place during your salon
sessions and all of these are carried out on real clients and will be assessed
by one of our highly trained professional members of staff. Creative
assignments and projects will be used to showcase your underpinning knowledge of
each technical skill learnt and these will be used as evidence for your
portfolio, alongside online exams.
