Online Theory Fundamentals
The Online Theory Fundamentals consists of online video presentations, digital modules, and web books using PivotPoint LAB. These highly in-depth resources give our students the fundamentals they require to understand the theoretical portion of barbering to successfully complete their exams and set their foundation before coming to campus.
During your first day, there will be a one-hour Zoom meeting with your instructor guiding you through the PivotPoint LAB online platform and what you can expect during your online training.
To ensure students stay on track and receive guidance from their instructor, weekly half-hour Zoom meetings are scheduled throughout the program. These meetings provide students with the opportunity to ask questions, clarify their understanding, and receive personalized feedback to enhance their learning experience.

0707 / 10
Will I obtain my Journeyman license upon completion?
Completing the program is an important first step, but becoming a licensed Journeyman Barber requires a few additional steps:
Once you've completed all these steps, you will become an Alberta Licensed Journeyman Barber, a credential respected across the province and recognized in many other jurisdictions.
0808 / 10
Can I work outside of Alberta?
Yes, in many cases you can! An Alberta Journeyman Barber credential is well-respected and recognized in several other provinces through interprovincial trade agreements. However, because each province manages its own apprenticeship and certification system, recognition is not automatic everywhere.
We recommend checking with the regulatory body in the province where you plan to work to confirm if your Alberta credential is accepted or if any additional steps are required.
