PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION
Purpose:
The purpose of this qualification is to produce fully competent hairdressers. Learners will acquire skills needed as hairdressers such as, hair and scalp treatments, cuts and styles hair, and they must be able to perform chemical hairdressing services in a professional, safe and environmentally responsible manner. On the completion of this qualification, a qualified learner is expected to:
Shampoo, condition and treat hair and scalp.
Provide hair-styling services.
Provide hair-cutting services.
Apply chemical services to hair.
Maintain professional standards when interacting with clients.

Rationale:
The Occupational Certificate: Hairdresser is a three year qualification designed to respond to a short supply of hairdressers in the personal care sub-field. A learner is expected to undergo a process of theory and practice to ensure that they have enough skills needed to be employable and will be able to practice in their own rights. This is to ensure that professional standards in hairdressing are adhered to and put into practice. The industry has been frustrated in its efforts to access the trade test for eligible persons in terms of the past regulatory framework. This resulted in a large number of persons working in the industry without any recognition as qualified trade persons. This qualification conceptualizes the qualification for Hairdressers as a single qualification, culminating in a trade test and the recognition of qualified Hairdressers as trade persons. Qualified persons will be able to deliver professional services with high regard of personal and environmental safety.
The process of developing this qualification included consultation with, and participation of different role-players which include, the Afro Hairdressing and Beauty Employers Association of Southern Africa, the Employers Organization for Hairdressing, Cosmetology and Beauty Industries, and the United Association of South Africa (UASA), including a Trade Union.
