Course Overview

The Certificate III in Barbering (Apprenticeship) involves theory and practical work which will develop your skills in traditional and contemporary barbering services and in working as a team within a barbering environment. Such skills may include communicating in the workplace, consulting with clients, selling products and services, and designing and applying a broad range of technical barbering services on clients.

Our Apprenticeship pathway allows students to study Barbering while working within a barbering environment. The course is delivered in consultation with employers to ensure that each apprentice and their employer are successful in the progression of the apprentices training.

After finishing the Certificate III in Barbering qualification, you will be a qualified barber with a range of well-developed skills.

Live clients
MMCollege recommends that as part of your course, you invite your family and friends to practice on. A small fee will be charged to cover the cost of products and services. If you can’t find models, MMC will attempt to source clients for practical sessions.

Under the Apprenticeship pathway the Certificate III in Barbering is delivered over a 2 to 3 year period. Due to the nature of delivering in conjunction with a barbering workplace these timeframes will vary dependent on the workload that the apprentice has within their workplace.

This course is competency based and will require a student satisfactorily obtaining the skills to be a competent Barber, as such this requires the course to be somewhat flexible in its delivery approach.

This course is delivered on campus in Surrey Hills, Victoria. A combination of theory units and practical assessments make up this course with role play and simulated working environments incorporated in the delivery. Students will work in a simulated Barbering environment when undertaking the practical components of the course.

As an apprentice, students and employers will work collaboratively to complete some practical elements of the course within the shop environment. Students will be given a workplace log book in order to track and complete these requirements.

A credit transfer is the recognition that a unit or component of another training program may be equivalent in content and level to a unit or component of the training program you are seeking to undertake. A credit transfer can result in the exemption of some units or course requirements and reduce your fees. Relevant units deemed competent on Statements of Attainment or AQF Qualifications issued by other RTOs will be recognised. The credit transfer process incurs no additional costs when enrolling in a course with MMC. Any application for credit transfer(s) is required to be made at the time of enrolment.

MMCollege is committed to providing up-to-date and relevant Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) information to all students during enrolment and whilst enrolled. MMCollege staff will provide support and guidance regarding these enquiries.  The RCC assessment follows the same procedure as RPL described below. All applicants for RPL will be provided with a copy of the relevant unit of competency and evidence requirements for the units being applied for. Applicants who are able to provide satisfactory evidence that they have achieved the required unit of competency or competencies may progress through the course with an exemption for the RPL units.

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process, which recognises what you have learnt from:

  • Life experience
  • Work experience
  • Non-accredited/accredited training programs

These experiences are measured against the qualification/unit you are doing or want to do. If what you have learned at work or elsewhere is relevant to your course or qualification, you may not have to do certain units of the qualification again.

How does RPL work?

If you decide to apply for RPL, you will be asked for detailed records of your experience, employment, training, etc., which may be relevant. An RPL application form template (Appendix 1.2) can be requested from Administration. Part of the RPL process requires you to conduct a self-assessment and to provide evidence against each of the performance criteria in a unit of competency. Once this is completed, you will then have an interview with your trainer who will go through your evidence portfolio with you.

Please speak with staff during your enrolment process in regards to applications for RPL. Please note there is a cost for the RPL process to cover the time spent by trainers and administrators processing the RPL application.
