If you have substantial industry experience as a qualified hairdresser, you may be eligible to gain this nationally recognised qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). The Certificate IV in Hairdressing reflects the skills and knowledge required of senior hairdressers who provide creative and technical leadership in hairdressing services. These professionals often take on supervisory roles, lead salon teams, and deliver advanced hair services with confidence and expertise.

This RPL qualification validates your ability to provide complex colour correction, chemical treatments, advanced cutting techniques, and develop client relationships. It also recognises your experience in managing or owning a salon, mentoring junior staff, and ensuring compliance with hygiene and safety standards.

RPL offers a fast and cost-effective way to convert your real-world experience into a formal qualification, helping you advance your career or open up business opportunities in the hair and beauty industry.
