ALFA Studies – Barber, Athens

ALFA Studies is a licensed lifelong learning centre, KΔBM licence number 2000058, running a barbering seminar across four campuses: Patision in Athens, Filonos in Piraeus, Vouliagmenis in Glyfada and Valaoritou in Thessaloniki. A published licence number is unusual in this market and worth noting.

The seminar covers the history of barbering, washing and head massage, tool handling, client consultation, fade cutting across taper, medium and high variations, classic cuts, neck and face shaving, moustache care, styling, workspace management and social-media promotion. A curriculum that takes shop operations and self-promotion as seriously as technique. Graduates receive the centre’s certificate of attendance plus an ABC CERTA international certification. Neither duration nor price is published, so both need establishing by enquiry. One practical note: the press-release page this listing previously pointed at now returns a server error; the working programme page is the one linked here.

On Greek credentials: private training bodies are licensed either as an IEK/ΣAEK or as a KΔBM lifelong learning centre, and a published licence number is the signal worth looking for. The professional barber licence itself comes through EOPPEP examination and generally requires documented working experience alongside the qualification. A course certificate on its own is not the licence.
