And I am saying, he does not have to include that in his CV for the UK. But he can say, he is a qualified hairdresser with experience from.......xxxx. Nobody in the UK will ask him if he has Licence to practise. The most they will ask is, 'has he got a work permit?' If he is a EU Citizen he can practise his profession/trade(hairdresser) freely. People will find it funny, if he says, 'I have Licence to practise'. And that's the truth about the UK!!!

Lavinia Pirlog (asker) Feb 28, 2016:

The question is how to translate the paper he has from Greece: Άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος. Not whether a hairdresser needs or not a Licence to practice in the UK. He needs to put that he has Άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος in his CV. That's why I asked. Thank you all.

transphy Feb 28, 2016:

A hairdresser does NOT need a Licence to practise, wherever he/she comes from, provided they have leave to remain in the UK. I n his CV he/she just quote their qualifications and their previous experience, for that.

Lavinia Pirlog (asker) Feb 28, 2016:

The CV is for the UK. And I do not know if he can put ''NVQ 3 in hairdressing'' or something else. Sorry about the late reply, but I did not get a notification from Proz.com that answers had been submitted....

To Lilian Juber: Good afternoon, I agree with you that it is not relevant whether the licence is required at present or not in the UK. As to whether any of the information that I provided was unnecessary, this is a matter of opinion. English is not only spoken in England, and I merely tried to provide evidence that a licence to work as a hairdresser is called a ‘hairdresser licence’ in many English speaking countries. I did not do this to show off; I did this to help the asker by providing proof to confirm that a licence to work as a hairdresser is called a ‘hairdresser licence’ in those countries. Have a nice day!

Lillian Julber Feb 12, 2016:

The idea here is to help, not to complicate the asker's life by showing off with so many unnecessary pieces of information.

Lillian Julber Feb 12, 2016:

I don't think it's relevant whether the license is required at present or not. Lavinia was asking for the translation, and in the text she had the term appeared and had to be translated.

Peter Close Feb 12, 2016:

To Transphy, If you had bothered to read my discussion entry of yesterday afternoon, you would have noticed that, as from 1994, it is no longer necessary in England for a hairdresser, hairstylist or barber to have a special licence to work as a hairdresser, but, in order to do operate as a hairdresser, the person’s premises must have a hairdresser licence for the purpose.
Before 1994 though, the licence that a person required in order to work as a hairdresser in the UK was called a hairdresser licence, too.
This British Government site confirms this:
http://alphagov.github.io/performance-platform/html-prototyp...
However, various other English speaking countries do require hairdressers, hairstylists and barbers to have licences in order to work at the trade, and, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and some American States, the licence they require is called a hairdresser licence, as well.
I provided ample internet references to substantiate this, but, if you should require more please do not hesitate to ask.

transphy Feb 11, 2016:

@P. Close:-
'....Hairdressers and Barbers are required to register the premises with Tameside MBC when opening new premises.......'
You are confusing, as your quote above, the Licence for the PREMISES, with the Licence to practise. You are mixing up all the other Trades/professions who require a Licence to Trade/prractise, with a Hairdresser, who wants to open a shop and he is required by Councils to Register the PREMISES. (No more input by me. I could be arguing all night with you)

Peter Close Feb 11, 2016:

A licence to practice applies to certain professions only, such as cleaning operatives, doctors and electrical workers. In some other professions, e.g., for drivers of heavy goods vehicles or transport managers, it is called an operator licence, for engineers and certain other professions it is called an operating licence, for pilots it is called a pilot’s licence, and for hairdressers, it is called a hairdressing licence.
As for Transphy’s claim that no special form has to be filled in in order to obtain a hairdresser licence, perhaps he would therefore like to explain to us why certain authorities do have special forms for this separate and specific purpose, such as http://www.tameside.gov.uk/licensing/hairdressing and http://www.melton.gov.uk/downloads/file/303/hairdressers_and... and http://www.oadby-wigston.gov.uk/pages/hairdresser_registrati... and http://www.rutland.gov.uk/licensing_information/licence_-_ha... and https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/cbpl/ProfessionalLicensi... In any case, English is not only spoken in England.

transphy Feb 11, 2016:

It is a much simpler procedure.
When you want to Practise any profession that has to be Lisensed, you will apply for a Form to fill in. That Form is headed, 'LICENCE TO PRACTISE'.
You then fill in your particulars(Name, address etc). Then, there is the section,
PROFESSION:- here you will write your profession. In this case you will write
HAIRDRESSER.
Governments, Authorities do not publish One Form for EACH Profession. They have ONE Form for All. That's it, simple. One applies for a 'Licence to Practise', then you insert the profession, you want the Licence for.

Peter Close Feb 11, 2016:

I have now withdrawn my original answer of ‘operating licence’ because I have now noticed that this is for a hairdresser. A hairdresser used to require a ‘hairdresser licence’ in the UK to operate as a hairdresser but this requirement was cancelled in the UK by the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (See: Hairdresser licence. The Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 has eliminated the need for hairdressers to be registered. However, activities such as ear ...

@Lavinia Pirlog.
Which Country is the CV for?

transphy Feb 9, 2016:

Mα μιλάμεν για ένα Κουρέα/Κομμωτή Ρουμάνο, ο οποίος δεν χρειάζεται την άδεια αν είναι στην ΕΕ. Αν είναι στις Η.Π τότε είναι το λεγόμενο, 'Green Card'.

Vasiliki Giokari Feb 9, 2016:

Απλώς ήθελα να αναφέρω ότι συμφωνώ και με την απόδοση του "Licence to practice [συμπληρώνουμε το επάγγελμα π.χ. medicine]" αλλά το work permit αναφέρεται σε άδεια εργασίας σε ξένη χώρα (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_permit), οπότε δεν νομίζω ότι αρμόζει στην προκειμένη περίπτωση.
