7-week Non-NVQ
in Barbering

Course duration:
7 weeks, Monday—Friday
(9.30am—4.00pm)

This course is ideal if you do not require the NVQ qualification. We offer a fantastic foundation into barbering, focusing purely on practical cutting.

Established since 2016 as Wales first and leading barbering academy, we have trained hundreds of students from around the world (Australia, Canada, Italy and Lebanon to name but a few). 

We provide advice and guidance on how to obtain a job in the barbering industry, and as a result have helped hundreds of students gain employment after completing our courses. 

We share a wealth of industry knowledge and insights with our students, and through our contacts, we are fully aware of what employers are looking for.

We can help you build a social media profile to showcase your work and get potential employers interested in you.

We provide small supportive classes with a maximum 5 students. This enables a safe space for training, more one to one guidance and easy access to tutors.

Our primary focus is the practical element of the course and you will begin cutting on day 2.

We deliver the course in a live barbershop environment and due to our relationship with students and the wider community, we have an abundance of models for you to train on a variety of different hair types.
