A proud achievement for the Dark and Lovely Academy – this state-of-the-art learning institution has been awarded 46 full learnerships from Services Seta, which will allow students to complete a full length hairdressing qualification course, while also receiving a monthly stipend.

Academy principal Mimmi Biggar explains: “It took a lot of effort and hard work for us to make this happen. We are delighted to have welcomed these 46 students into our academy, and hope to do this again in subsequent years. We are proud that Services Seta was impressed by the quality of our facilities, and our ability to accommodate these numbers of students comfortably while ensuring every student receives the very best education.”

The students are from all areas of Gauteng, from the Vaal right through to the East Rand, with some from the SOS Children’s Villages. They visit the Dark and Lovely Academy from Monday to Thursday each week. The training they receive at the Academy is comprehensive and includes all aspects of hairdressing as well as topics like money management to ensure they become well rounded professionals ready to excel in their careers.
