The National Hairdressing Apprenticeship programme is designed to ensure that the apprentice receives training both on and off the job over a minimum of three years, allowing them to “earn while they learn”.
The course structure is a blend of on-the-job training (80%) in full time employment, and one day a week off-the-job training (20%) with Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education (CDCFE),where we provide the necessary skills, techniques, and theory to assist them to become a fully qualified Hairdresser, as well as the confidence to do so.
