You earn while you learn. An apprenticeship is the least costly training option so you won't need a large student loan.
You will gain a nationally recognised qualification.
Your employer will train you on-the-job and support you through off-job training.
You are supported by the Sales & Liaison Manager in your region and the Hairdressing ITO National office.
You need 3 years secondary/tertiary schooling and you will need to find an employer/salon who will take you on as an apprentice.
You can ask the Sales & Liaison Manager in your area if they know of any salons that are looking for an apprentice, or you could check out the vacancies page of the HITO website www.hito.org.nz
Go to your local salons or salons where you think you would like to work. Ask yourself how you felt about the salon, and whether you would want to work there.
Ask the owner/manager:
Does the salon offer structered training?
How they train apprentices, is it look and learn, or look and learn during set training sessions?
Would you get paid while you are at off-job training?
If you would like to work in the salon, ask the owner/manager for a job and tell them why they should take you on. You could offer to work for no pay for a short time, after school or on weekends, to show your keenness and willingness to learn. Remember to take your C.V. along with you, this should be as visual as possible.
List the reasons you should be chosen, these might be:

267 credits Credit must be gained for the standards listed in either Elective A or
Elective B Elective A (Hairdressing Practice) Elective B (Barbering Practice) When you have completed all these units you will receive your National Certificate
in Hairdressing or Barbering (Practice). This is awarded by NZQA. Hairdressing Training/Achievement Guide
Choices for Becoming a Qualified
Hairdresser
You will learn both on and off the job.
How quickly you get through your apprenticeship is up to you
and your employer, but the average apprenticeship takes around
3 years. You
will be trained in the salon in all of the hairdressing
skills, by a qualified and experienced hairdresser. You will spend
time at off-job-training during the term of your
apprenticeship. Year One - 19 days, Year Two - 19 days and
Year Three - 10 days. The
HITO pays approx 75% of the cost of off-job training while you
are an apprentice. Off-job training is undertaken at a
training provider where you will gain additional knowledge to
be assessed in the units you have been learning and practicing
in the salon. Assessments confirm the skills and knowledge you have gained on the job. You
will need to collect evidence while on the job, that proves you can perform
the same skill on different heads of hair. 43 of the unit standards will be assessed by your off-job training provider. At the end of your off-job-training you will be ready to do the last two units to
complete your qualification. These are the Level 5 units: Unit Standard 2759 - "Perform
hairdressing services in a commercial salon" Unit Standard 2759 involves
collecting evidence of the clients you are servicing in the salon
over a four-week period and then a 1 hour observation of your daily
work in the salon. An Industry Assessor visits you by
appointment to watch you at work with your clients. Unit Standard 2757 - "Apply Hairdressing Services Under Workplace Conditions"
Unit Standard 2757 is a 6 hour demonstration of your hairdressing
skills in a salon environment. The unit requires you to
perform three hairdressing services. They are the sorts of
things you will be doing every day in the salon. A "One Off" payment
effective from 1 January 2007: Hairdressing: New 1st year
apprentices-$315 New 2nd year
apprentices-$210 New 3rd year
apprentices-$160 Anyone signing into a training
agreement to complete the final two units will pay $105. If you are already signed into a
training agreement and paying $100 per year this will continue. Please
ensure that you are paying the $100 yearly by the due date on the invoice. Unit Standard credit fees are charged at $1 per credit. The National Certificate
in Hairdressing (Practice) has 299 credits. You will need to pay these to your
training provider as you
progress through the units. The final two units are assessed in industry, and are not
included in this figure. Off-job training student fees are paid every year to your training provider. They vary
from place to place and have been set by Government for 1999 as 25% of the total cost,
negotiated by the ITO, for the off job training for that year. The fees vary according to
the level of training also. Average cost per year (excluding credit fees): You will also need to buy your own hairdressing scissors. You may want to get more
equipment of your own, however salons usually provide the rest of the tools you will use.
Scissors vary in price. For learners needing to travel to off-job
training there are board and travel subsidies available from the HITO on
verification of receipts. Other training material is also available for purchase from your
Sales & Liaison Manager. All figures are inclusive of GST. Your responsibilities to your employer are: To be committed to Hairdressing as a career. To
learn and collect evidence. To be punctual. To be well groomed. To be self motivated. To have a commitment to team work. The employers responsibilities are: To provide a good working environment. To encourage regular training for the apprentice. To supply positive feedback and constructive criticism on performance and training
progress. To instill professionalism. To set a good example as a member of the Hairdressing Industry. To maintain skills and knowledge of current hairdressing trends and industry standards. Once an apprentice has signed a training
agreement with their employer and the HITO, it is the Sales & Liaison
Manager's job to offer information and
advice to the apprentice and employer throughout the time of the apprenticeship. The Sales & Liaison Manager will visit you in the salon at least twice a year,
and more often if required. If you are having any problems in your
apprenticeship you can
call your Sales & Liaison Manager, anything you tell them will be in confidence.
