Put your training and experience to use with ITEC’s RPL services and earn a nationally recognised qualification with a SHB30416 – Certificate III in Hairdressing via our RTO partners.
Certificate III in Hairdressing
Within four weeks of receiving sufficient and complying evidence of competency in all applied for units of competency.
A Certificate III in Hairdressing provides the knowledge and skills required for you to pursue a hairdressing career and work as part of a team. The course will provide you with the competence to communicate with other individuals in the workplace, consult with clients and market products and services. However, training will focus on developing a range of skills across a broad spectrum of technical hairdressing services requiring good judgment and discretion. Hairdressers are responsible for their own productivity. Please note that this qualification is suitable for Australian Apprenticeship, but not for VETiS delivery.
You will need to provide a range of evidence to assist your assessor to make a decision about your competence. The types of evidence you may be asked to provide can include
We have up-to-date schedules, and contact information, & let you book appointments online.
Speak to ITEC Australia about your goals, and allow us to guide you towards the qualification that will help you reach them.
Your dedicated consultant will guide you through the process of putting together a portfolio of evidence. This can contain overseas qualifications, transcripts, certificates, photos and videos, samples or work examples, letters of reference, your current resume, etc.
Once one of our partner registered training organisations (RTOs) has assessed your portfolio, the assessor assigned to your case may be in touch if any additional evidence is required. If you have any weak areas, the RTO may assign a trainer to upskill you at no cost to you.
ITEC Australia is partnered with Registered Training Organisations whose qualifications are nationally recognised in Australia, and are the same as the qualification you would receive from full time study. Qualifications can also be useful for licensing or immigration purposes.
