Thank you for your interest in our school. Enclosed is a brief outline of our professional Old School Barbering diploma course.
Should you choose to join us, you will find that we have created what is perhaps the most thorough and comprehensive Barbering program available.
During your first month here, working exclusively with mannequins in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, you will learn the basics of cutting, sectioning, and angles of elevation; shampooing, draping, and blow-drying for short and long hair; perming and colour application techniques.
In your second month, you will join our more advanced students on the salon floor. During this main phase of the program, our highly skilled instructors will guide you through a wide range of advanced barbering skills including: tapering (fades), modern trend cuts (including fauxhawks and texturized cuts), razor cuts, hair lines, face shape analysis, trimming and shaping beards and moustaches, and full facial shave with hot towels and massage.
Barbering theory is taught in a casual classroom setting through lecture, Q&A, with key notes supplied throughout. Our theory instructor holds a Bachelor degree in Education and has over 20 years of experience in the industry.
Our day course takes six months to complete. The hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday. The tuition fee is $6,150.00 (payable @ $1,025.00 per month). Equipment is a further $850.00 (plus taxes).
All applicants must meet the minimum requirements as stated in our Enrolment and Admissions Policy. For a copy of this policy, please see the Required Policies Handbook for Students, or visit our website at www.londonschool.ca.
On successful completion of our Old School Barbering course you will receive a diploma from London School and you become eligible to take the CIABC exam and receive their Certificate of Qualification for British Columbia, the highest and best recognized qualification available in B.C. at this time.
New courses are starting at the middle of every month and job placement assistance is available to all graduates.
