Review of Hairdressing qualification
National Certificate in Hairdressing (Management) (Level 5) with strands in Assessment of Hairdressing, Tutoring in Hairdressing, and Salon Management [Ref: 0646]
The NZ Hair and Beauty Industry Training Organisation (Inc.) (HITO), in collaboration with identified stakeholders, has completed the review of the qualification above.
Summary of review and consultation process
A review of the industry skill requirements for hairdressing involved a range of industry stakeholders including Private Training Establishments, Industry Training Providers, employers, employees, learners, and the HITO.
The review was based on feedback received from stakeholders after a sector wide consultation process. This has resulted in two New Zealand qualifications at level 5:
New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Advanced Colouring Skills) (Level 5) [Ref: 2726]
New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Advanced Cutting Skills) (Level 5) [Ref: 2727].
These New Zealand qualifications were listed on the NZQF in March 2015.
The National Certificate in Hairdressing (Management) (Level 5) with strands in Assessment of Hairdressing, Tutoring in Hairdressing, and Salon Management [Ref: 0646] is no longer consider fit-for-purpose by stakeholders, and will be discontinued.
