Training at BIBA Academy supports what you’re learning in your salon, helping you refine your technique, strengthen your confidence and meet professional industry standards.

Working in a salon while you train means you’re learning in a professional environment from the very beginning. You’ll build confidence, develop speed and gain a clear understanding of what’s expected on the salon floor.

Your time at BIBA supports that growth. Through structured, practical training, experienced educators help you refine your technique and strengthen the skills employers value.

By the time you complete your apprenticeship, you won’t just have a nationally recognised qualification. You’ll be ready to step into the industry with hands-on experience and the confidence to work at a professional level.

Apprentices attend BIBA Academy for off-the-job training throughout their apprenticeship.

Employers can choose between:

• Weekly training days at BIBA
• Block training (one week in every five weeks)

Apprenticeships typically run over three years, with BIBA training delivered across approximately two years of that contract.

All apprenticeship training is conducted at BIBA Academy’s Johnston Street campus in Fitzroy, unless otherwise arranged.
