About this book
The theory textbook for the QCTO Occupational Certificate: Beauty Practitioner (NQF Level 4, SAQA ID 121607, curriculum 514201-001-00-01). Eleven chapters covering the qualification's 112 credits. Chapters 1 to 6 teach the five knowledge modules and their twenty topics, worth 32 credits: cosmetic chemistry; the integumentary system — skin, nails and hair; anatomy and physiology for beauty practitioners; professional conduct, business enterprise, marketing and retail; salon premises, management and finance; and the salon business plan, health and safety and legal obligations. The curriculum carries no knowledge module for the treatments the practitioner actually performs — they appear only as applied knowledge inside the practical modules — so chapters 7 to 11 teach that knowledge in full: skin science and manual skincare treatments; eyelash and eyebrow tinting and eyebrow shaping; make-up colour, products and day, evening and bridal application; nail science and manicure and pedicure services; and temporary hair removal by waxing, sugaring and related methods. Every chapter carries worked examples, Check Your Understanding boxes and end-of-chapter review questions, and the curriculum's printed faults — a misprinted criterion code, six epidermal layers, criterion weights totalling 114 per cent — are corrected and the correction explained.
