I have worked at Realise for 16 years and still counting! I am a trainer and I see different learners and employers every day, no two days are the same. I have taught so many learners to gain new skills and progress to owning their own salons and barbers. I really enjoy my work, still having hands on with the practical training and growing relationships with many talented hairdressers and barbers.
A trainee barber will gain experience within a real-life barber shop, whilst studying towards an entry level qualification. Typical tasks include tidying and organising the salon, greeting customers, shampooing hair and shadowing barbers.
Yes, you can absolutely do a barbering apprenticeship without going to college. In fact, many of our apprentices prefer to learn ‘on the job’ as they are able to learn and put their skills into practice straight away, all whilst earning a wage.
To be a great barber, it starts with a passion for creativity and barbering. Realise can teach vital skills such as shaving, customer service, cutting and more.
A level 1 qualification prepares people to work within the hairdressing and barbering industry. Those working at level 1 will often advance to a level 2 apprenticeship.
