Apprenticeship Details
Our training model is unique to most models: we offer two 150 hour programs, spread out over 6 months, occurring 2 days a week. We follow BC Industry Training Authority Standards in the development of our program.
In our years of salon education experience, we found that training two days a week and allowing hands-on time in between classroom days provides students with the valuable time needed to practice in a real work environment and earn an income. Our students report they feel much more confident in their skills because of their ability to truly practice in real-world scenarios.
The first 150 hour Intro to Becoming an Apprentice program gives you the skills necessary to apprentice in a salon. The second 150 hour Hair Stylist Foundations program prepares you with the fundamental skills of a Level 1 hair stylist.
