HAIRDRESSING APPRENTICESHIPS
As an apprentice you can earn whilst you learn, doing real jobs for real employers and learning real skills. You earn on average £180 a week, which increases to national minimum wage or higher after 1 year of continuous employment. You get paid holidays, receive training, gain a nationally-recognised qualification and the best part is it is all fully funded, so no student loans necessary! Apprenticeships are highly relevant in today’s market and the fact is, students are strong on theory, but this is no substitution for on-the-job practical training. Doing an apprenticeship with us can take you all over the world – you can even train up to degree level, so apprenticeships really do take you to the top.
We work with several employers throughout Merseyside and beyond, giving you the opportunity to choose who you work for. We also work closely with other training providers, so even if the sectors we train in are not suited to you, we can help point you in the right direction to get you where you want to be.
