Review update

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who attended our Barbering Qualification and Standards review hui in Ōtautahi (Christchurch), Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington), or completed a survey on the qualifications or standards.

A high-level summary of feedback from the hui is available here.

In October 2024, we will convene Te Puna Whāngai (Advisory Group) with representatives from industry and providers to update the qualification. A separate group will be formed later to review the standards.

We welcome your continued feedback! Please email any comments or questions to [email protected]
