Subjects & Qualifications

Hairdressing

New Occupational standards have been developed for SVQ Hairdressing and Barbering Level 1, SVQ Hairdressing Level 2, SVQ Hairdressing Level 3, SVQ Barbering Level 2 and SVQ Barbering Level 3.  This means a revision has been made to these awards as part of the reaccreditation process.  These awards are now current.

To assist delivering centres revised Candidate Portfolios, Assessment Strategies and Assessor Guidelines can be found following the links on the right of this page.

The Mandatory questions required for these qualifications are currently being vetted by HABIA and will be available to centres as soon as the papers have been finalised.  These will be available to centres on the SQA Secure Site.
