Forging New Pathways through Working with Industry
– Launch of SCFE’s first Apprenticeship Programme
For many years, Sallynoggin College of Further Education has been recognised as a centre of excellence for delivering Hair and Beauty courses at QQI Levels 5 and 6.
We remain committed to providing the most up-to-date and quality assured industry-related qualifications.
Pre-Apprenticeship Routes
Our well-established Hairdressing and Beauty Therapies course, QQI Level 5, is an excellent springboard into the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship.
In partnership with employers in the Hairdressing industry, SCFE launched its first apprenticeship in November 2022. SCFE works closely with the Hairdressing Salons to ensure the apprentices receive training both on and off the job which is formally regulated and of a national standard. As part of an Earn as you Learn model, Apprentices are paid a weekly rate by their employer throughout their apprenticeship.
The National Hairdressing Apprenticeship will provide successful apprentices with a QQI Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Hairdressing.
Apprentices have the use of our fully equipped Hairdressing Salon and other college facilities. One of their teachers, Linda Thornton is a former graduate of SCFE, who completed her apprenticeship with Peter Mark. Linda is a well-known hair stylist whose most recent achievement is becoming a finalist in two categories at the 2023 Glammies by Great Lengths Awards. She was also winner of the 2019 and 2022 Glammies by Great Lengths Awards in Bridal Category and Creative Innovation.
The duration of the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship will be over 3 years with training consisting of 80% full time employment and 20% off the job training with Sallynoggin College of Further Education on a day release.
