PHAB Standard launch Barbering Exams

The phenomenal success and encouraging feedback that PHAB Standard has received has driven the industry standard to push boundaries further and launch the first ever Barbering Exams.



Specifically designed around the barbering industry, the exam has been tested and approved by the PHAB Non-Executive Board of Directors, who are all experts in their field. The PHAB Standard Barbering exam is an affordable and effective tool which provides instant results and is open to all members of the barbering community from Managers to Barbers and assistants.

The online, multiple choice exam has numerous benefits to the individual barber and salon including:
  • Ensuring you are reliable and punctual in all aspects of work and ensuring a positive atmosphere is recognised within the salon
  • Not only improving your customer service but also ensuring your skills are at the best of their ability and your knowledge is second to none
  • Setting a minimum exam result and educating new members of the team or those on probation, encouraging growth and development
  • Evaluating training and identifying any gaps in the current education program before allocating training budgets
  • Encouraging your clients to put their trust in you by having detailed and involving consultations taking into account all aspects of their wants and needs
Founder and Chief Executive of PHAB Standard, and former leading industry trainer, Nergish Wadia-Austin commented, ‘The benefits that come from sitting a PHAB Standard Barbering Exam can be measured immediately. Increased knowledge and customer service is only ever good for business and in today’s society it is often only customer service that separates the competition.

The exam result can be printed off immediately and should someone fail they will be guided to all the courses available to them listed on the PHAB website by all the top trainers in our industry.’

These exams are open to all members of the barbering industry and cost £18. They are free to all PHAB Businesses, and non-PHAB Businesses can ask their suppliers and manufacturers to pay for the exams as an incentive.
