I'm so stressed out, any advice would be fab right now!
I'm currently studying a cert III in hairdressing in Melbourne, AU and stupidly enrolled at a private collage as they were more flexible, I travel 2.5 hours each way to get there as there is nothing near me and I have to travel to the city to get there. I'm committed lol
Downside..the training has been nothing but garbage. My trainer doesn't speak or understand English well, they use the supermarket brand $2 hairspray if your lucky enough to even find one in the place and there is 1 teacher to 50 students. When we learn something new (its not a class, everyone starts and finishes at different times of the month) we have to get a vhs tape of a 70's vintage to show us what to do. IF the tape works. Then we just have to do it once if lucky before they expect us to be able to proficiently be able to do it on a client. Then we spend half a day trying to chase a teacher around to see of we did it correctly etc.
The nastiness of some of the clients towards us because of these things is unbelievable.
I have frankly learnt more from YouTube then my classes after 6 months.
I've paid thousands of dollars so far for this as I'm not funded in any way, and I'm seriously considering leaving, getting credit for what I did do and going to perhaps Vic Uni, Bendigo Tafe or another school.
For the love of all things mighty, if anyone studied hair in Vic in the past, could you please give me a recommendation? I'm risking my families financial wellbeing to do this so I cant fail because some awful school refuses to teach even remotely well.
I refuse to give up but there's only so much you can learn from YouTube and no salon thus far that will even allow me to get some work experience.
If there are no recommendations, please just pray for me lol
