All of your training as an apprentice will be completed within the salon, meaning you’ll gain transferable skills, get a crucial step on the career ladder and get that direct experience craved by salon owners, allowing you to fully enhance your future.
At ISA we offer the following Apprenticeships:
The Level 2 qualification provides the necessary skills and knowledge that will prove your professional competence as a hairdresser. Suitable for learners who are just starting out in the industry, the Level 2 Apprenticeship allows apprentices to learn basic skills such as shampooing, conditioning, perming, cutting, and styling within a salon environment, accelerating your careers to reach junior stylist.
Training focused on more advanced hairdressing techniques and salon practices. Do you want to become a senior stylist? This qualification is suitable for those more experienced hairdressers or those who have completed the Level 2 Apprenticeship. The Level 3 Hairdressing Apprenticeship will increase your skill-set within the salon, allowing you to develop and specialise your skills.
The Level 4 qualification is an advanced Apprenticeship where you can specialise in one of two optional routes: either Senior Practitioner and Stylist or Salon Manager/Director. The Level 4 Apprenticeship is perfect for qualified hairdressing professionals. If you dream of running your own salon or want to progress to a sector-leading position within the industry then this is the qualification for you.
