The Online Theory Fundamentals consists of online video presentations,

These highly in-depth resources give our students the fundamentals they require to understand the theoretical portion of barbering to successfully complete

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.

Will I obtain my Journeymen license upon completion of the Masters in Barbering program?
Completing the Masters in Barbering program is an important first step — but becoming a licensed Journeyman Barber requires a few additional steps.
Here’s what you need to become an Alberta Licensed Journeyman Barber:
✅ 1. Complete the Masters in Barbering program – You’ll graduate with a certificate from Canada School of Barbering, recognized by the province of Alberta.
✅ 2. Register as an apprentice – After graduating, you’ll need to register with Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
✅ 3. Complete 1,450 hours of on-the-job training – Gain real-world experience working in a barbershop as a registered apprentice.
✅ 4. Pass the government exams – Successfully complete both the theoretical and practical exams administered by the Government of Alberta.
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.
Have questions about the process? Contact us — we’re here to help guide you! ✂️
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.
Here’s what we recommend:
✅ Check with the regulatory body in the province where you plan to work. They can confirm if your Alberta credential is accepted or if any additional steps are required.
For the most accurate information, always check directly with the province where you plan to work.
