SAAHSP Exam Pilot Program report back SAAHSP – CIDESCO Section SA’s very first SAAHSP Exam Pilot Program was introduced to its Training Providers, via a roadshow, in May 2019. The aim of this roadshow was to talk to the Students / Candidates, giving them the opportunity and option of doing the SAAHSP / CIDESCO Practical Exam together, and the SAAHSP Theory MCQ on another day. This gave SAAHSP a wonderful opportunity
to present the Students/ Candidates their Certificates on the day. We are extremely proud to say we had 93% pass rate and are delighted with the result for the first Pilot Program. We as an organisation would like to congratulate our Training Providers and Students /
Candidates for achieving such excellent results, and bringing professionalism to our industry. We are planning a roadshow in early 2020, to all Providers to inform them of the new CIDESCO Certificates and to encourage Training Providers to offer CIDESCO.

Dermatech School Open Day The general public in Cape Town were given a glimpse into the exciting world of hair, health and skincare at Dermatech’s recent Open Day Event, the second one of 2019. Says Heidie Chaplin of Dermatech: “We organised a spectacular event where we showcased our wonderful students and suppliers. Our Open Days are anything but conventional. The theme of this event was ‘Extreme Makeover’. “In May, we held another Open Day, themed ‘Hair & Makeup Fantasia – A Night at the Movies’. It was truly amazing; students had to choose characters from movies and then showcase their characters at the Fantasia Hair and Make-up Runway Show at the end of the Event. Visitors were also given an opportunity online @ probeauty.co.za
to watch the students at work.” The key focus this time round was not only hair and make-up, but all aspects of the beauty industry. Visitors watched the student hairstylists and beauticians/therapists at work, not only finalising the look, but also performing various beauty
treatments (facials, manicures and pedicures etc.) on six volunteer models. During the course of the morning (ie. from 9am to 1pm), visitors were also able to take a tour of the Campus and interact with the Dermatech lecturers and support staff.
