Scientifically proven extensive research has been done over the years that more and more people are becoming focused and aware of how they look, their appearances and there inner well-being. The beauty and wellness industry is extremely fast growing, with improved technology and treatments launched every year. It is an industry that encourages one to never stop learning with the new techniques and trends setting the bar high.
Being a Beauty Therapist for the past 13 years, this is a journey that I am extremely proud of. I studied for 3 years to obtain my NQA (Namibian Quality Assurance) Level 7 in Beauty therapy, with iTEC and CIDESCO International examinations culminating this process. These examination bodies are recognised globally, ensuring the need to be internationally recognised to assist us with potential employment in other countries. There is also the Services SETA to accredit colleges and SAAHSP, as the non- Statutory Professional Body in South Africa which are organisations supporting the continual upliftment of education across borders. Continual studies are priority for me, ensuring I am up to date with the latest trends and technologies being released.
I was fortunate to be accepted to work at Steiner, now known as London Wellness Academy, that trains people to work on cruiseships and opens many doors lots of Therapists. This company has been one of the leading names in the cruiseline industry catering for top class 6 star Spas around the world.
