The Certificate IV in Trichology has been designed to further develop the skills and
knowledge of qualified hairdressers who wish to practice in this area and also for persons
who do not have a hairdressing background but wish to practice in a complementary field.

hair and scalp science to trichological consultations, consult with clients/patients, develop
and apply scalp treatment therapies, apply the principles of nutrition, perform trichological
assessments, perform hair loss diagnosis, design and apply nutritional therapies to benefit
hair growth and condition, and design and apply hair loss therapies.
