For the hair and beauty sector, this includes hairdressing, beauty therapy and barbering competitions, alongside dozens of other trade and technology categories held across the championship floor, with regional heats feeding into the national finals.

Who Should Attend

The championships are aimed at apprentices, trainees and students competing to represent their skill area nationally, as well as educators, employers and industry visitors interested in vocational training standards. It also offers a showcase for the hairdressing, beauty and barbering training sector to a wider public audience, including school students considering a career in the industry.
