Management
Level

Credits
83-87 depending on strand
Purpose
This qualification recognises the skills and knowledge required for management or training
in the Hairdressing Industry. It also provides recognition for advanced skills. The core
compulsory section recognises the importance of communication and interpersonal skills,
and the advanced hairdressing and management skills required within the industry.
The Assessment of Hairdressing strand recognises the skills required by registered
assessors to ensure that they make fair, valid, and consistent judgements in accordance
with national standards.
The Tutoring in Hairdressing strand offers experienced hairdressers the opportunity for
recognition of the skills and knowledge required to train and develop skills of hairdressing
trainees. It acknowledges the need for tutors to be skilled hairdressers, and conversant
with principles and practices required to provide best practice in a training environment.
The Salon Management strand provides recognition for the more complex hairdressing
skills and knowledge required by clients. It also allows people to choose the most
appropriate skills and knowledge required to effectively manage a small business within
the hairdressing industry.
This qualification can follow on from the National Certificate in Hairdressing (Professional
Stylist) [Ref: 0022], which can follow from either the National Certificate in Hairdressing
(Salon Support) [Ref: 0268] or the National Certificate in Barbering [Ref: 0418].
Special Notes
Recommended for entry: National Certificate in Hairdressing (Professional Stylist) [Ref:
0022], or the National Certificate in Barbering [Ref: 0418], or a Trade Certificate in
Hairdressing, or demonstrate equivalent skills and knowledge.
