Derry, Northern Ireland | Specialist Hair Loss Clinic & Professional Academy
iHobbs Academy | Online Training
I created iHobbs Online Academy to make high quality specialist education accessible to professionals wherever they are. Students can learn flexibly without compromising the depth, structure or professional standards of their training.

Every course is developed from years of real client work and educator experience. Each available Online course is a complete professional programme, with detailed teaching, practical demonstration and live competency assessment.
What Sets iHobbs Online Academy Apart
Professional education designed to stand confidently in its own right.
Training informed by years of specialist client work and professional education.
Learn at your own pace and return to the education whenever needed.
Practical capability is assessed directly through a live Zoom session.
How Online Learning Works
Where an online course is available, you study from home at your own pace. Access terms are course-specific and are stated on the individual course page — they are not identical for every course.
Online study is followed by live competency assessment where specified on the individual course page. Certification is based on successful assessment, not course access or completion alone.
The individual course page is the authoritative source for what is included, how the course is delivered and what is required of you. This page introduces and compares — it does not replace course-level information.
Available Online Courses
Each course page carries the full, confirmed course information. Use this comparison to choose which page to read.

View Course DetailsWhy I Created the Hybrid Route
I created the Hybrid route because I understand that people learn in different ways. The Online course is already a complete, extensive and professional standalone programme, designed to provide the knowledge, professional understanding and assessment required for the course.
I also recognise that some students benefit from additional physical practice and private face to face guidance. For those learners, Hybrid combines the same complete Online course with dedicated one to one practical time with me.
The qualification is not higher or stronger than the Online route. The difference is the additional practical learning experience and direct support. Where a Hybrid route is available, the individual course page explains exactly what is included.
Face to Face Only
