Students opting for a Part-time course will be completing National and International Qualifications simultaneously over a three year period at Soma Sense Academy. The following conditions apply:
- Students are required to work full time in an accredited salon.
- Supervised by a Hairdresser that has completed her Trade test (Red Seal Diploma).
- Students must attend Soma Sense Academy Hairdressing class once a week. This allows the student to complete the hours required.
- Should a student not work for a salon before they start with the course, they will have a limited period to secure one.
- It is the student’s responsibility to provide their own models for all practical training and assessments.
At the end of your three years, you may do your trade test for your Services SETA & International Diplomas. You will be accredited to work in any salon, start your own salon/spa or even work on-board a luxury cruise liner. The opportunities are immeasurable.
