The Link Training

I’ve been going to the Link for around a year now, and every-time I go I feel so welcome and attended to!The hairdressers really know what they’re talking about and give you plenty of options of what is best to do for the health of your hair, in line with what you want to do with it.I always leave with my hair looking better than I could ever imagine.If you’re in huddersfield and are looking for a professional and friendly team to tend to your hair needs, I couldn’t think of anywhere better!!

Amazing training school, totally committed to the students and understanding the salons needs to give apprentices the best chance in their chosen career… as a salon we always recommend our apprentices train here. Without doubt, the best in the area!

Just completed my Level 3 ILM team leader supervisory and passed with a Distinction thanks to Ben who supported me through out the program and was able to support me through the difficult Covid period and number of unexpected job changes which wasn't planned. Ben was always there to help and support and was able to adapt things to support my learning style and made learning enjoyable i was able to relate the content to my work place and have gained my new skills/techniques to use in my workplace I can not thank Ben and The Link training academy enough and would recommend to anyone wanting to broaden the skills and knowledge. Level 5 next :)

Had my hair done many times at the training academy, always love it the students are so good and all the staff are really helpful!

Ella is the best stylist I’ve been with! She loves what she does and my hair reflects that every time I leave The Link! Absolute hair goddess❤️Would definitely recommend if you want precision and accuracy as well as a smiley, bubbly person to talk to!

Cannot thank Ben @ the Link enough. From starting my own business and almost qualifying my first official apprentice, Ben has not only coached myself as a leader but demonstrated that such a vigorous industry doesn’t need to be so scary! If anyone is considering getting into the barbering/hair industry then this is definitely the place to kick start your career. Had I not have had my own salon I’d most certainly be taking a chair at the Link! The team cannot do enough. Fantastic support network available with a professional outlook on everything they do. The main plus being they actually listen to your needs and adjust the program as such to build your strengths yet also build on areas of improvement. Cannot ask for much more! Thank you Ben and the team.

I studied with The Link on my barbering apprenticeship and they were absolutely brilliant! The staff are so lovely and helpful when learning how to cut and I would recommend anyone interested in barbering or hairdressing to be an apprentice with them!Thanks to everyone there along my journey!

Been using the Link Academy for our Apprentices as our training facility along side our own in salon training for over 7 years, with full trust in all aspects of learning and care for the students.Staff are friendly and supportive to myself as an employer and students alike and would definitely recommend for any learners at all levelsAmandaHaringtons Hairdressing Halifax

Level 5 Operational/Departmental Manager ApprenticeshipI recently completed a Level 5 Operational/Departmental Manager Apprenticeship through the Link Academy and I can not thank them enough for all their help and support throughout my apprenticeship. I especially want to say a big thank you to Ben who was my tutor throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Ben and he always took the time to listen and address any queries or concerns I had. I felt fully supported throughout my apprenticeship and feel completing this apprenticeship gave me the skills, knowledge and behaviours to succeed in the management role I am completing today as well as the opportunity for future learning opportunities.

Had my haircut this afternoon by Bradley.He did a superb job with my hair, I believe he knew in his mind what he was setting out to achieve and I believe he has achieved it to a high standard. His teachers were on hand to help in places to perfect his cut and guide him in areas that could be done differently/better.I wish Bradley all the best in his career/qualification and I will be asking for him next time I visit to see how he has improved.Many thanks :)Nick.
