Learners are required to complete a mandatory twenty month practical after which they are eligible to do their Services Seta Trade Test.

We also offer a part-time course which is completed over three years. Learners benefit from the PHDTA course in that the programme works hand-in-hand with the Partners Hair Design salons to ensure that the practical hours, which are required from each learner, are completed under the guidance of a salon mentor.

Learners will also be placed in a work placement program to ensure that they become gainfully employed after completion of the course.
