About Barbery the Craft of a Barber Academy

This is a preparatory qualification which provides a defined and limited range of basic skills and knowledge used in barbershops and hairdressing salons by individuals who provide assistance with client services.

These routine and repetitive tasks are completed under direct supervision and with guidance from barbers and hairdressers who manage the client service.

The combined skills and knowledge do not provide for a job outcome as a barber or hairdresser and this qualification is intended to prepare individuals for further training.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

This qualification reflects the role of barbers who use a range of well-developed sales, consultation and technical skills and knowledge to provide a broad range of barbering services to clients. They use discretion and judgement to provide client services and take responsibility for the outcomes of their own work.

This qualification provides a pathway to work as a barber in any industry environment, usually a barber shop where a student will continue to develop their skills whilst understanding and contributing to the day to day aspects of how a barber shop operates.
