After school I wanted to get straight into working life, and didn’t like the idea of going back into a classroom full-time, so an apprenticeship was the perfect choice for me.
As well as learning the trade – the practical side of how to cut hair, and the theory that goes with it – I have enjoyed making friends with the other apprentices, and with clients. My tutor Chelsea has also been very supportive.
Once I’ve finished my apprenticeship, I’ll work full-time at my current employer Howards Barber Shop. In the future I would also like to complete a Personal Training course, and would definitely come back to Oldham College to do this.
The apprenticeship has helped me to gain so much confidence, both with my technical skills and with meeting new people.
