Level 3 Ambassador
Two intensive days in Bovino, Italy. Private guidance, the highest technical level and an official Scapicchio Diploma. Prove that you are ready to represent the Academy as an Ambassador.
Your most personal and demanding Academy experience
This is where technique becomes responsibility. With a maximum of three students, you receive private guidance while proving your freehand honing, shaving, protocols and leadership.
It combines private tutoring, the highest technical standard, leadership and professional protocols in the historical home of the Scapicchio family.
Your path to Level 3
Each level has a clear purpose and therefore takes place at the Academy location best suited to that stage.
Level 1 · Bovino
Learn the Scapicchio foundations at the historical home of the family and its tradition.
Level 2 · Ghent
Deepen the theory, service structure and professional protocols at the ROMAIN Academy campus.
Level 3 · Bovino
Return with your Level 2 mentor for the Ambassador test at the highest technical and professional level.
Completing Level 1 and Level 2 does not automatically make you an Ambassador. You must complete the Level 3 test. Afterwards, all Masters present discuss your result together and decide whether you are ready to represent the Academy.
Two-day evaluation format
Level 3 is organised personally and takes place in Bovino during an official Level 1 Academy training session.
Day 1 · Theory, practice & participation
- Arrival, briefing and expectations
- 120 true-or-false knowledge questions
- Time to practise honing and refine your technique
- Ask the Masters questions and prepare for Day 2
- Work alongside the official Level 1 honing day
- Show collaboration, leadership and professionalism
Day 2 · Practical assessment
- Freehand honing: hollow, full wedge and kamisori
- Two complete shaving services on live models
- Hygiene, protocols, organisation and presentation
- Direct supervision by the Masters in Bovino
- Feedback followed by an internal Masters' discussion
Organised with your Level 2 mentor
Your Level 2 mentor travels with you to Bovino, guides your preparation and supports you throughout the two days.
Level 3 Diploma & Ambassador recognition
Completing the two days is not an automatic pass. After your test, all Masters present discuss your knowledge, technique, attitude and readiness. A positive collective decision gives you approval to represent the Academy as an Ambassador and the official Scapicchio Level 3 Diploma.
You also receive an official Novicide Hygiene Certificate to display in your barbershop — visible proof of your commitment to safe working practices, professional protocols and client trust.
Level 3 is the final step before Master Barber, but the Master title is never automatic. Ambassadors who continue to show skill, integrity, leadership and commitment may later be personally selected by the Scapicchio family.
Ambassador and Master Barber are different roles
Both roles represent the Academy and share its values. The essential difference is educational authority: an Ambassador represents and supports the Academy, while a Master Barber may organise and deliver authorised Scapicchio Academy Workshops.
