  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 practise 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 reconceptualises 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 Organisation for Hairdressing, Cosmetology and Beauty Industries, and the United Association of South Africa (UASA), including a Trade Union.
