24 WEEK | FOUNDATION
Are you passionate about becoming a hair professional?
Every one of the key techniques found in the Sassoon philosophy will be passed on to you, the newest generation of qualified hair professionals. The course is divided into five intense stages, each lasting four/five weeks and covering all of the bases needed to provide you with the fast track to hairdressing success.
The nature and content of each stage will develop as you progress through the course, however a few things remain constant: you will receive personal guidance and mentoring from a Sassoon teacher throughout all work sessions; theory and practical assignments are given to assess your progress at regular intervals. At the end of every stage you will be given one to one appraisals to ensure that you are achieving the learning goals required by Sassoon standards.
