Get recognised for the leadership and business skills you’ve already built running a salon. The SHB50216 Diploma of Salon Management converts your real-world experience managing staff, treatments, sales and workplace safety into a nationally recognised qualification. Through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), ATSR guides you through matching your day-to-day management experience against the qualification’s requirements, with your partner RTO formally assessing your evidence and issuing the Diploma.
