Starting Kindergarten is an exciting time for both a parent and a child. For some children it is their first venture away from home. For all children it is a new learning community with new faces and procedures.
When you employ an apprentice, you will need to enrol them into a college or training centre that will take them through their qualification whilst you can help teach them in the barbershop which will help you get to know the qualifications and delivery.
Taking on an apprentice can be really rewarding and it’s the best way for someone to get into the industry. Barbershops today have many other services going on, such a shaving, that the apprentice can help with and I find that my clients love to see an apprentice come through the ranks of the barbershop.
Firstly, if you want to teach the nationally recognised qualifications you must have the qualifications yourself (ie, if you want to teach the Barbering NVQ Level 3 – you must hold this qualification yourself or you cannot teach it). I know this can create tension amongst some of the more senior barbers as many of you have plenty of experience without a qualification but I have honestly never anyone that has finished these qualifications and not learnt a thing. As well as teaching barbering skills, these qualifications will also teach the essential knowledge behind the skills as well as how the qualifications work, how they are put together, methods of assessment etc, - as the saying goes… He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
