Non-contracted/ARPL Learner
A non-contracted learner means you do not have your SAQA National qualifications or a Learnership agreement, in which case an ARPL (artisan recognition of prior learning) process must be followed to determine if you are ready for a Trade test.
You need 3 years of full-time hairdressing work experience to qualify for this option.
The ARPL will be done by an interview with the learner in which they will also write a theory paper to determine if they have the required knowledge as a hairdresser. A practical test will also be set-up to determine if the learner has any gaps which need to be covered to qualify for the trade test. Once the learner is found competent a statement of results is issued, after which SETA will issue us with your trade test serial number and your trade test date will then be booked.
