Course Overview
Do you love to showcase your creativity? Do you enjoy being able to help people be the best version of themselves and provide them with self confidence? Then this course is for you!
When you complete your Certificate III in Hairdressing you will learn the skills and knowledge to pursue work as a qualified hairdresser. Hairdressing qualifications can lead to many work opportunities from owning your own salon to working with models and celebrities for film and television work.
You will learn cutting, colouring and finishing techniques for male and female clients, communicating in the workplace, consulting with clients, selling products and services and designing and applying a broad range of technical hairdressing services on clients.
If you have great communication skills, enjoy working with and meeting new people then this is the course for you. Hairdressing allows you to show your creativity and express your artistic qualities in both the practical and theoretical components of this course.
At TAFE Gippsland you will develop your skills through the world renowned training resources of Pivot Point Academy. We now offer the additional flexibility of our Pivot Point resources online, giving students the opportunity to access resources 24/7 either on campus, in the salon or at a place of their choice.
