Open Day 2018
Wintec’s Open Day is all about helping you make decisions about your future, and how to take the next step to get there! Open Day is all about giving you the opportunity to find out what programme/career fits you.
This programme will open the door to a world of industry opportunities from becoming a salon stylist, a colourist or a fashion stylist to even owning your own salon.
You’ll further advance your professional hairdressing skills and knowledge, learn a range of cutting styles, permanent colouring techniques, reformation services, and advanced styling. You will also gain a practical understanding of the daily business needs and practices of a working salon.
You will practise on real clients providing them with consultations and a quality salon experience.
In addition you will complete 160 hours of work-based learning where you will gain hands-on experience while working in a range of real working salons with support from your tutors.
On completion of this programme, you will need to work in a salon to complete your final credits before you can be registered as a fully qualified hairdresser.
Graduates will be equipped to work as an Emerging Stylist in a hairdressing salon.
Graduates of this programme may progress into the New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Professional Stylist)

Do you excel in your job but have no qualification to back it up? We can help you get qualified through our Recognition of Prior (RPL) Learning Tool.
While many people have gained work and life experience equivalent to that of formal study, they don't have that formal qualification to substantiate it. RPL allows you to use your current knowledge and experience towards gaining a recognised qualification through Informal Transfer of Credit.
If you are interested in applying, you can do so by emailing your profile through to: headstart@wintec.ac.nz.
Your profile will be forwarded to the relevant Team Manager to look at and determine if you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning. Once this has been determined, a consultation meeting will be arranged between yourself and the Team Manager. There is a $75 fee for this consultation. At the consultation, the Team Manager will discuss which modules they believe you have the experience to gain Informal Transfer of Credit for and also what documentation you will need to supply.
