Matthew McConachie, Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Barbering

“I joined SERC after completing my GCSEs and I love learning a new trade. I am getting hands on experience working with clients in SERC’s excellent barbering facilities and I can see my skills improving daily. I gained work experience in Russell’s Barber Shop in Lisburn which has really improved my confidence and interpersonal skills."

"I enjoy the mix of practical and theoretical working because it means I have a better understanding on different techniques and how to carry them out safely for myself and my clients. On completion of this course I would like to begin working within the industry.”
