My name is Adrian Rudge, and I am a barbering lecturer here at Fife College. I started here 14 years ago at the College when it was named Adam Smith College. Previous to that, I was a hairdressing Barbering lecturer at Elmwood College in Cupar.
My experience working full-time in hairdressing and barbering has allowed me to share industry skills and updates to the students, so they are informed about the field they are studying in.
Coming into this course is a full SVQ Level 2. It covers the fundamental skills of barbering and the theoretical aspects of the subject too. This will help lead you on to a junior barber level with the potential to continue to study the advance level three qualification. This course is condensed down into 18 weeks, enabling mature students to have a change of career to study without too much financial implications for themselves. This also allows students to get into the industry quicker.
The best thing about working at Fife College is the different range of people that you meet. Staff, students and outside agencies. No one day is the same and it is a great place to work.
