Entrance requirements for apprenticeships
You must be employed in a training contract by an appropriate organisation to study an apprenticeship or traineeship.
An apprenticeship involves full time work with an employer who provides an opportunity to learn all aspects of a trade. This is a structured program for a fixed period of time and while you learn on the job, you also attend off the job training at SM TAFE.
Some of the benefits of an Apprenticeship are that you can:
- earn a wage while you train
- learn on the job skills combined with off the job training
- receive a nationally recognised qualification on successful completion
- start a valuable step towards a rewarding career path
As an apprentice or trainee you may need to maintain safe dress standards, equipment, textbooks, documentation and licences to study on-campus.
Please note this list should be used as a guide only as job titles and qualification requirements may vary between organisations.

After successful completion of this course, graduates are able to make application to study further with a Registered Training Provider in the SHB40216 Certificate IV in Hairdressing and SHB50216 Diploma of Salon Management
