1-Week Barbering Course
Our 1-week intensive course is designed for individuals who already have basic barbering skills or trained in the past but feel a little rusty and want to sharpen up.

This fast-track program is 100% hands-on, focused purely on cutting hair and trimming beards under the guidance of our experienced tutors. It’s ideal for:

  • Barbers returning to the trade after time away
  • Hairdressers who want to refresh their men’s cutting and clipper skills
  • MUAs looking to strengthen practical barbering techniques
  • Professionals seeking extra confidence in fades, blending, and beard work
Important: This course is not suitable for complete beginners or those requiring head doll training. If you need more fundamental practice, we recommend our longer 2–4 week courses where you can build a foundation on training heads before progressing to live models.

Need more time? You can top up your training week by week to cover additional skills as you go.

At Totalbarber Academy, our flexible training approach ensures you get the right course for your level, with hands-on experience tailored to your needs.
