The qualification includes a significant work experience component to ensure that students are industry-ready by the time they complete the course.

The subject is worth a single A Level equivalent, however due to the vocational nature of the subject it is timetabled over twice as much time (Option Blocks C and D).

The current provision is demonstrating a high level of success with its students and we are looking forward to extending the qualification in 2022.

All classes are timetabled in the CLC specialist vocational centre on site with industry standard hairdressing resources.

Achievement of the Level 3 Advanced Technical Diploma in Hairdressing demonstrates to an employer that the individual has the skills and knowledge of health & safety, customer service and also has the necessary advanced cutting, styling, colouring and colour correction skills necessary to be employed as a Senior Stylist.
