hairdressing and beauty 2 year course
Hi all,
I am thinking of going down the student visa route, doing hairdressing cert lll as a way to eventual pr. I am aware that it is only a 1 year course and that I need to bulk it out to 2 years. I was wondering if a diploma in Beauty services would be considered a close enough qualification to hairdressing for the pr visa purposes. I would prefer to study beauty than salon management if poss.
Also was wondering about this 900 hours work experience I keep reading about. I know that I would now have to work in the industry for a year after qualifying but is this in addition to the 900 hours work experience or instead of?
Can the year working in the industry be self-employed or do I have to work in a salon?
How are international hairdressing graduates treated when looking for employment, I mean is it a respected qualification and do they tend to discriminated against international graduates?
Finally! are the hairdressing academies any good, I mean if it all went pear shaped and we came back home would I have been trained well enough to actually be a hairdresser in the UK?
Best wishes,
Lisa

Re: hairdressing and beauty 2 year course
Hi there, i'm not so sure about the student visa in hairdressing, they brought out new rules as of 1st sept so maybe you should contact an agent to get some free advice on it, i'm sure they can point you in the right direction.
I myself have just got my visa through the old 136 permanent residency using my hairdressing trade, i needed to have at least 900hrs in education and have 6yrs experience to get it. i hope this helps.
good luck anyway
