WE WASTE NO TIME ON THINGS YOU WILL ALMOST NEVER BE ASKED TO DO IN A BARBERSHOP SETTING SUCH AS PERMS AND COLOURING HAIR.

SMALL CLASS SIZE. ALLOWS FOR PERSONALIZED TRAINING THAT IS SUITED TO EACH STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. STUDET TO TEACHER RATIO IS 3:1

SOME COMPARABLY PRICED PROGRAMS ARE 1/4 OF THE HOURS OF TRAINING WHILE OTHERS ARE MORE THAN TWICE THE PRICE, LONGER, AND LARGELY SUPPLEMENTED BY ONLINE COURSEWORK RATHER THAN HANDS ON TRAINING.

A QUESTION WE GET ASKED A LOT IS WHETHER OUR COURSE IS “ACCREDITED.” THE SHORT ANSWER IS THAT THERE ARE NO FORMAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BARBER IN BC. ACCREDITED COURSES IN THE PROVINCE ALLOW ACCESS TO FUNDING, BUT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW A STANDARDIZED CURRICULUM THAT ISN’T PERSONALIZED AND INCLUDES MANY TOPICS NOT RELEVANT TO THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK IN A BARBERSHOP. OUR COURSE, HOWEVER, IS AFFORDABLE AND FOCUSES ON GIVING YOU THE FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS YOU NEED TO START YOUR CAREER RIGHT AWAY.
