Barbering Certificate

The Barbering Program provides educational skills and knowledge for students to excel in the barbering field so they will gain the confidence and ability to service clients/students and obtain their licenses for employment in barber shops or other avenues of the hair industry.

We strive to offer a balanced academic and personal environment that fosters growth and constant pursuit of knowledge and Christian servant leadership. We offer a full-service barbering school, which is also open to the public for services.
