HOB Academy appointed to train top industry names
The HOB Apprenticeship Academy is now offering external training for apprentices aged 16 and over to salons across the UK who are looking to begin their journey into a rewarding and fulfilling career in hairdressing and barbering.
Theory and Practical
The apprentice programme involves the apprentice working in your salon four days a week, including a model night once a week. In addition to this, the apprentice will attend one day a week at the HOB Apprenticeship Academy in Camden covering both theory and practical course components. The team also offers in-salon training for those unable to attend the Apprenticeship Academy.
Level 2 Diploma
Working alongside your own training programme, the HOB Academy team – who have been named as Finalists for the Employer Provider of the Year at the National Apprenticeship Awards 2024 – will prepare the apprentice for their End Point Assessment and carry out full mock assessments prior to the actual EPA. The apprenticeship will take 18-24 months, made up of 17-21 months learning on the course programme, with two further months preparing for the End Point Assessment. At the end of this the apprentice will gain the Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professionals.

Already signed to work with us are apprentices from Steven Carey, Percy & Reed, Saco and Palmer Fisher and we look forward to offering our skills to the next generation of hairdressers,”- HOB Apprentice Academy Manager, Treena Eagles-Sime.
