Hairdressing is a mix of passion and expertise. For most hairdressers working in the industry, achieving their qualification is an ambition they held right through school and sometimes as they pursued other careers before finding their natural roots in the industry. The Irish College of Hairdressing, based in Galway city, is the leading international college of hairdressing in Ireland, offering the world recognised City & Guilds qualifications in hairdressing and barbering. More than 75 per cent of students attending the college have achieved a distinction making it the number one choice for those who wish to achieve the very best from their hairdressing training.
In just seven months training at the college, the full City & Guilds International Diploma in Hairdressing can be achieved under the expert tuition of the best hairdressing trainers in the business. The City & Guilds International Diploma is a professional hairdressing qualification accepted in some 120 countries worldwide, with a great number of hairdresser graduates choosing to work abroad in Australia, Canada, and the cruise ships.
Working in the hairdressing industry is much more than just 'doing hair' with career opportunities stretching from owning your own salon, to film and TV work, right through to the science of haircare in the hair products industry. While many students attending the college know they want to train as hairdressers from an early age, the college encourages all those wishing to pursue a career in the industry to complete their Leaving Certificate before signing up to do their professional qualification, providing a broader and better grounding in other areas of knowledge before the intensity of pursuing one career begins.
The Irish College of Hairdressing has two places left on its City & Guilds International Diploma in Hairdressing, starting September 1 2009, and has already opened enrolment for its January 2010 course.
