Will I have to take an exam to pass my home study hairdressing course?

Well that depends on the course. With Open Study College all your coursework goes towards a certification that they will issue you, based on your coursework. On the other hand if the qualification is important to you, at the end of the hairdressing course you can organize to sit an exam at a local training centre. This will help you to reach NVQ status and gives you flexibility and choice.
