The Hairdressing Industry Training Organisation Inc. (HITO)was established in 1993 as the recognised Industry Training Organisation (ITO) for the hairdressing industry. Our mission statement is "To establish and maintain the achievement of high quality, relevant hairdressing qualifications as an essential investment for the industry and its clients". Our role is to make sure that industry training standards are maintained, and that the information and skills being taught are correct and relevant. We also administer the apprenticeship programme, including the delivery of on and off job training.
An apprenticeship is a great way to become a qualified hairdresser or barber. You can train while you work, so you will not need a large student loan. In some regions it is possible to start training towards the National Certificate in Salon Support while you are still at school through the Gateway Programme. Talk to your careers advisor or gateway coordinator about this programme.
