Diploma in Hairdressing

Why this diploma elevates your career

Employers promote stylists who can train juniors, manage inventory, and retain VIP clients. You graduate with CDACC Level 6 credentials, supervisory competence, and a portfolio that proves commercial-grade hairdressing — not just basic cuts.

Diploma graduates qualify for salon manager, artistic director, trainer, and educator roles — with higher earning potential than certificate-only technicians.

Builds on JITC certificate programmes where applicable — credit recognition may apply.

Includes AI Proficiency and one free short course of the student's choice.
