The College of Hairdressing Connaught has just launched its new courses for 2011 at Kiltartan House, Galway, and at its satellite centre in Castlebar, Co Mayo.
Due to the economic downturn students are now finding it harder to get jobs in hairdressing salons. To counteract this, the College of Hairdressing Connaught will now offer a part-time City & Guilds course to be held evenings and Mondays. This gives everybody the opportunity to gain a City & Guilds Level 2 certificate on a part-time basis and emphasises the importance of gaining qualifications in their chosen career. This course would also be suitable for those who meet the Back to Education Allowance criteria.
The 12 month City & Guilds full time diploma course starts on September 27. This year the college is offering limited places on a two-day general foundation course in Galway for those who may want to try out hairdressing before committing to the full year course.
The college is located at Kiltartan House, Forster Street, Galway, beside Eyre Square and Ceannt Station. The Castlebar centre is located at Newtown, Castlebar. For enquiries about any of these courses contact (091 ) 846 839 or visit www.hairdressing.ie
