We have been training Apprentice Hairdressers and Apprentice Barbers for close to 30 years, working with prestigious salons throughout London, the M25 area, Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk. These salons are also looking for highly motivated Apprentice Hairdressers and Barbers right now.
Hairdressing Apprentices will learn everything from shampooing and client care, cutting and styling, setting and long hair, colouring & perming hair leading up to their End-Point-Assessment.
Barbering Apprentices will learn everything from cutting and styling hair, clipper and trimmer techniques, beard and moustache trimming and wet-shaving leading up to their End-Point-Assessment.
Whether learning Hairdressing or Barbering, you will be cutting hair on Day 2!
The Apprenticeship programme takes approximately 14 months for Apprentice Barbers & up to 21 months for Apprentice Hairdressers to achieve a Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professionals, whilst earning a salary of at least the appropriate National Minimum Wage.
As an Apprentice Hairdresser or Barber, you will work a minimum of 30 hours in a Salon or Barbershop. You will train either one day a week or follow our unique ‘weekly-block’ training where you spend one whole week in every month Training at the London Academy, followed by four weeks in your salon where your Academy training is embedded within your in-salon training programme.
You will NOT need GCSE’s, but must have the right attitude, a passion for the industry, be well-presented and ready to learn.

The Diploma For Hair Professional (Hairdressing) Level 2
Ladies Hairdressing Apprenticeship
This Qualification can be taken as a part of a Ladies Hairdressing Apprenticeship, providing the apprentice is working a minimum of 30 hours each week in a Hairdressing salon.
Our Academy in London offers a flexible curriculum for government-funded students, including hands-on creative workshops and demonstrations in our modern, air-conditioned environment. They will spend either one full week at the Academy for each month of their course or 1 day each week. Whether an apprentice is new to the hairdressing world or a qualified hairdresser or barber working towards Level 3 Advanced & Creative Hair Professional (formerly NVQ Level 3), we offer all levels of training. Functional Skills are taught to those whose GCSE grades fall below 4’s in English & Maths.
We have a strong reputation for work-based-learning and have been delivering Government-funded apprenticeship training for more than 30 years.
Hairdressing Apprentices will start cutting hair on their second day of training. During the 3-week (15 day) Induction period, Apprentices learn the 9 Alan d Foundation Haircuts together with a variety of finishing techniques before moving on to a further 4 (20 days) weeks of cutting, both on dummy heads and live models. Client care, shampooing and salon etiquette all form part of this module.
Classes then run as follows: 4 weeks (20 days) of roller-setting together with long-hair & perming, 5 weeks (25 days) of colouring and 5 weeks (25 days) of preparing students for their End-Point Assessment (EPA).
During their time at the Academy, Apprentices work on live models, dummy heads and take online tests towards the completion of their NVQ. In many cases, Apprentices complete their course in less than the prescribed 18-21 months.
Apprentices are assessed to confirm their progress at each stage of the course. It is our policy to fast-track those that perform particularly well and whom we consider to be ready for their End-Point-Assessment (EPA).
