Gateway and STAR

Gateway

The Gateway program opens new pathways from high school to tertiary study and workplace learning. It is a great opportunity for students to experience workplace learning and tertiary study prior to making decisions about their career path.

We run Gateway programs in Barbering, Hairdressing, Makeup and Beauty Therapy and unit standards gained through the Gateway program leads to nationally recognised qualifications and counts towards NCEA qualifications.

STAR

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Star programme! The techniques and tutorials were really beneficial and overall I enjoyed myself. Was sad that it was only three days as I was happy coming and learning different make up and beauty tips and tricks! Was so happy that the class that I was with bonded so closely so quickly. 

I am looking at options to come and study at Cut Above next year, which I am already looking forward to!"

The Cut Above Academy STAR program provides an opportunity to sample the hairdressing,barbering, makeup artistry, special effects and beauty therapy industries.
