Summary/Abstract: The idea to study training for hairdressers as an occupation has resulted from the observed tendency where hairdressers who have already obtained a diploma in the formal education system often enter again the basic training course for hairedressers in an institution of non-formal education. We have tried to examine the reasons of this 'extended' training thtough the concept of educational needs. Needs have been divided into three groups: those related to the capacity to work, articulated career goals and the needs related to the reasons for inclusion and assesssment of the caracteristics of the institution organising the training. Data indicate that our interviewees feel competent to do the job in accordance with the requirements of the market only when they have completed formal education, continued to practice in the workplace beyond the regular practice timetable and completed the course for hairdressers in non-formal education. Broadly speaking, the data point to the necessity of cooperation between social partners in the area of vocational education of adults.
