The National Hairdressing Apprenticeship is shaped by the people who actually work and aspire to work in this industry.

The Apprenticeship Programme is looking for feedback from employers, mentors and apprentices to ensure they can provide the best experience for you.

Head to our highlights sections ("Hair Survey"), choose the survey that best matches your role and answer a few short questions.

If you know someone else in your salon who fits one of these groups, please share it with them too. The more voices involved, the better the apprenticeship!
