EXAM
Flexible route to your goal: the final exam is optional.
If you choose not to take the exam, you’ll still receive your certificate as a “Hairstylist”. If you do take the exam, you’ll earn additional specialisation certificates on top.
The ProAcademy final exam has two parts. First, you complete a convenient online multiple-choice test to check your theoretical knowledge and how confidently you’ve mastered the course content. Second, you create a specified look in a practical assignment and email us clear, meaningful photos of your result. This way, we can assess your skills in both theory and practice.
You have up to 24 months to take the exam, and you decide when to do it. Some students feel ready after just four months, while others prefer to use the full time available. Either way, you can fit the exam around your schedule and learn at your own pace.
CERTIFICATES
Upon successful completion , you’ll receive two globally acknowledged certificates that showcase your expertise and elevate your professional profile:
- Hairstylist
- Editorial Hair Stylist
Perfect for your portfolio – and your next step into the world of beauty and styling.
If you decide not to take an exam, you will receive one internationally recognised certificate:
- Hairstylist
