Duration: 43 Weeks plus 3 week work term
Program Description
The Hairstylist program is a provincial apprenticeship training program that will put students on the right path to becoming a Journeyperson. While studying at Academy Canada, students will complete all entry level and advanced level courses. After graduation students will proceed to obtain required industry experience prior to writing an Interprovincial Journeyperson examination. Passing this examination will result in receiving Red Seal Certification, which gives national mobility of qualifications. In addition to the formal training that students receive, they also have the opportunity to experience real-world aspects of being a hairstylist by servicing clients at Academy Canada’s Hairstyling Salon.
Apprenticeship Training
The Hairstylist program is an apprenticeable trades program. These courses, completed at Academy Canada, will represent partial completion of the requirements for Journeyperson status under the Interprovincial Red Seal Certification. Once this initial training is complete and the student secures employment in the trade, he/she must register as an apprentice with the Industrial Training Division, Department of Education. Academy Canada’s Hairstylist program at both the St. John’s and Corner Brook campuses is accredited by the Provincial Apprenticeship and Certification Board.
Trade Qualifier
Academy Canada offers a Trade Qualifier course in Hairstylist. After students graduate and work in the industry for 2600 hours, graduates can return to Academy Canada for a four (4) week refresher course to prepare them for the Interprovincial Journeyperson certification.
