NVQ VS MINT MASTERS
Choosing The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course over a barbering NVQ is a smart choice for students who want to develop their practical barbering skills without being hindered by excessive paperwork. Unlike an NVQ, The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course is designed to be a mostly practical course, with only the necessary theory that is used in real-life barbershops. With an emphasis on practical skills, students have access to real models to work on, giving them the hands-on experience, they need to become proficient barbers. They also receive personalized attention and guidance from experienced educators to help them excel in their barbering skills, as The Mint Masters Diploma has a maximum of six students per class. In contrast, NVQs in barbering often have larger classes of up to 10-15 students, which can limit the amount of individual attention and guidance each student receives.
Moreover, an NVQ teaches out-of-date hair cutting techniques because the curriculum and materials used in the program have not been updated to keep pace with current industry trends and innovations. This is not the case with The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course, as it is taught by award-winning educators with 15+ years of knowledge and experience in teaching and working in a barbershop.
This means that students are learning the latest modern barbering techniques that are in high demand in today’s market.
In terms of value for money, The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course is also the better choice as it starts from £2600, which is significantly cheaper than an NVQ, which can cost upwards of £3500. By choosing The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course, students can focus on developing their practical barbering skills without breaking the bank. On completion of the program, students receive support in building a photo portfolio of their cuts to help them secure a job role in the industry.
In summary, students thinking about a career in barbering should choose The Mint Masters Diploma Barber Course over a barbering NVQ as it offers personalized attention, teaches the latest modern barbering techniques, and is better value for money. The program is designed to allow students creative freedom by eliminating unproductive paperwork, and it prepares students to become confident barbers upon completion of the program.
