QCTO-Accredited Qualification:
Occupational Certificate: Hairdresser — NQF Level 4 | SAQA ID 102497 | 540 credits
The qualification is delivered through our part-time learning format and combines structured theory, extensive hands-on training and required workplace experience. At Hey Beautiful Hair Academy, we believe the part-time format can offer students more practical exposure than a traditional full-time classroom-based programme. Hairdressing is a practical career, and regular salon experience helps students understand, apply and retain what they are learning while building real confidence and professional skills.
Learners must successfully complete all required knowledge, practical and workplace components before proceeding to the applicable external assessment and trade-test process.
QCTO Accreditation: 07-QCTO/SDP050626095053
Valid from 29 May 2026 to 28 May 2031, subject to the terms of the accreditation.
Certification and statements of results are processed in line with QCTO requirements; the Academy does not independently issue QCTO certificates.
