STARTING AND PROGRESSING YOUR CAREER IN THE BEAUTY AND WELLNESS INDUSTRY

Choosing the best educational pathway for you

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER BY UPSKILLING YOURSELF

With so many beauty-related qualifications on offer, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding on what you would like to study further. We have collated just a few of them.

ELEVATING THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY THROUGH TERTIARY EDUCATION

In the dynamic world of beauty and aesthetics, the pursuit of excellence begins with education. This industry is flourishing in South Africa, offering diverse opportunities for skilled professionals. However, the importance of obtaining tertiary education from accredited institutions cannot be overstated. In this article Nouvique Academy sheds light on the significance of a structured education and the pitfalls of fly-by-night institutions that pose a threat to the industry’s integrity. 

ONGOING TRAINING IS NOT NEGOTIABLE

As the world of beauty constantly evolves, the RefectoCil SA Academy believes that ongoing training and educating of beauty therapists is crucial for several reasons, for example, it contributes to the overall professionalism, competency, and success of individuals in the beauty industry.

OUR INDUSTRY NEEDS MORE GRADUATES WITH MASTER’S DEGREES

Lecturers at registered higher education institutions in South Africa are required to have an academic qualification registered at a higher NQF (National Qualifications Framework) level than the level they are teaching or facilitating. For instance, teaching somatology (NQF level 6) necessitates the lecturer to have an advanced diploma in dermal aesthetics (NQF level 7). Further progression typically mandates a master’s degree in somatology. The Isa Carstens® Academy has identified a shortage of graduates holding master’s degrees in this field.
