An amazing promotional tool for displaying your official skill level to your customers.
IN THE UK ANYBODY CAN CALL THEMSELVES A BARBER?
It goes so much further than that, when you think about these people opening training facility's offering education and more without ever learning or holding any qualifications themselves?
The British Master Barbers have been constantly at the forefront of barbering health and safety and believe this is the most important factor. We created the first FREE to all barbering health and safety online course with a free downloadable certificate to help make our industry standards a little higher and show customers we take their wellbeing seriously. Along side this we have created three accreditation levels that can prove to customers that certain levels of official qualifications or time held within the industry have previously been achieved.
IS ACCREDITATION COMPULSARY? Our accreditation service is by no means compulsory but is recommended to barbers who understand the importance of keeping at the top of their game and continually chase goals to better themselves. This accreditation should be seen as a personal achievement and a level that your customers can be confident with.
DOES IT MAKE ME A BETTER BARBER THAN EVERYONE ELSE? The simple answer is of course not. Everybody knows that you never stop learning and our accreditation is a confirmation of your previously held industry achievements. Our accreditation is set at a minimum level that provides a stepping stone to keep you enthused about the industry and help you promote your industry profile. Continuing your barbering journey to higher knowledge and skill set is a must at any level of competence and down to you to keep pushing the standard higher. WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL MY APPLICATION? If you fail your application you will be notified why and advised on how to improve your skill set or which requirements need to be met. You will then be allowed to apply again or change to the correct level suited to you if this is not suitable you will have your application fee returned.
CAN I JUST BUY THIS ACCREDITATION?
NO! Although there are costs involved with attaining our accreditation a strict criteria for each level must be met. These are listed below.
