pivot hairdressing 1yr course - worth it??
hi guys just wondering if anyone has attempted/completed the above course, it covers most aspects of hairdressing and qualifies you up to certificate 3 at the end (not sure what that is in english money lol!!)
anyway the course costs are $11,900 approx - which is quite pricey but if it does the trick then its worth it, as you may or may not be aware i am after a totally different profession when we move to oz in March and always fancied my hand as a hairdresser.
any advice you could give about this course, content, value for money etc. would be really appreciated, before i take the plunge and make decisions i could regret!!
regards

i am sure you will hear something soon - all the waiting is horrendous, but once you get your visa you dont really remember what all the fuss was about, bit like giving birth in my opinion lol!
as for the hairdressing - at least you have some experience on that score, only experience i have is shaving my sons head and sticking on a home dye!!! lol!! anyway one thing is for sure, there is no way on earth i am going back in an office when we get to oz!!!
regards - hope you are well

Cert III Hairdressing
But bear in mind here they insist you do the 'Introduction to Hairdressing' first at a cost of an extra $316. This course has to be done BEFORE they'll accept you on the main 12 month one & it takes 16 weeks.
Intro to Hairdressing
Hairdressers...like most other trades here only pay well if you work for yourself though!!!
Hope this helps!

Hey cheers for that artep, I didn't know that. The only thing is the 900 hours you have to take as well (employment training or something). It is something to consider though, thanks for the info.
