I started my barbering apprenticeship with The Link Training Academy in October 2022, since then my knowledge, skills, and confidence within the barbering industry has developed at a tremendous rate. Their way of teaching and adapting the methods they use to each and every individual’s training plan is a way that surpasses any other – I could not have felt more welcome and comfortable.I extend my praise and gratitude to Ben, James, and Tina, alongside all the staff working behind the scenes. They are all meticulous in their approach to teaching and I’ve learned different skills off of every single one of the teachers that will stand with me for a lifetime.If you’re thinking of becoming a barber/hairdresser, don’t look any further than The Link Training Academy.

Cannot thank Ben @ the Link enough. From starting my own business and almost qualifying my first official apprentice, Ben has not only coached myself as a leader but demonstrated that such a vigorous industry doesn’t need to be so scary! If anyone is considering getting into the barbering/hair industry then this is definitely the place to kick start your career. Had I not have had my own salon I’d most certainly be taking a chair at the Link! The team cannot do enough. Fantastic support network available with a professional outlook on everything they do. The main plus being they actually listen to your needs and adjust the program as such to build your strengths yet also build on areas of improvement. Cannot ask for much more! Thank you Ben and the team.
