Salon Skills Level 2 (Dual Enrolment)

Prepare for further training or employment in hairdressing or beauty therapy.

Dual Enrolment programmes are FREE if you're in Years 11, 12 or 13 and a great way to earn NCEA credits and get a feel for tertiary study, while you’re still at school.

This course provides an introduction to the salon environment and is an ideal launch pad for further training. It covers industry practice, industry safety, image, client and salon support, communication skills and preparation for employment.

You'll earn a New Zealand Certificate in Salon Skills (Introductory) (DE).

This programme is delivered two days per week (Thursdays and Fridays 9:00am - 3:00pm).

Location: Christchurch

*Places are limited and funding is dependent on availability. Some courses may incur costs, depending on the learner's eligibility. Part-time 1 year (while still at school).

Fees may apply for International Students
