There are no formal training requirements for becoming a beautician in South Africa. But it is highly recommended you complete a course in beauty therapy if you are interested, as this will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to work in the field. A CIDESCO diploma is the highest qualification in the beauty and spa industry and is the only fully international qualification that is recognised by employers.
Beauty therapy is an extremely popular career choice and the industry looks set to grow over the next five years. The demand for talented, devoted creative individuals to take up beauty positions has never been so strong. What’s more there’s real job satisfaction from making people feel good about themselves.
