What the college says

This course is designed for learners who want to gain the complete set of core skills required to work confidently as a junior stylist. It is ideal for school leavers, adult learners and those progressing from Level 1 Hairdressing.

What you need to get on

A positive attitude, professional behaviour, strong communication skills, and enthusiasm for practical learning are important for success.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
