GL0M 21 SVQ 1 in Hairdressing and Barbering at SCQF Level 4 |
2026 |
Product Objective
SVQs are vocational qualifications, accredited by SQA Accreditation, which provide individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary for specific job roles, in this case hairdressing and barbering. They are formally recognised by SQA Accreditation as being relevant and credible. SVQs are credit rated and listed on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), which ensures they are recognised, comparable, and offer clear progression pathways.
Where does it lead?
The qualification will prepare learners to progress to a level 2 hairdressing or barbering qualification.
Why we're considering this product
Our current level 4 SVQ in this area is due to expire in 2026. Please indicate your support below if you would like VTCT Skills to develop a replacement SVQ.
