New to NVQ?
If you're unfamiliar with how hairdressing NVQs / VRQs are structured, the different levels and course titles can seem a little confusing at first.
We receive lots of emails from prospective students, such as "Do I need to start at Level 1?", "What is the difference between NVQ and VRQ?" etc. For that reason, we have put together a simple guide explaining how the NVQ system works, and which course would be right for you at any stage in your hairdressing career.Beginners
