When did you start teaching on the APHEDA?

BIO: I am from Kampot Women Development Centre (KPWC). Currently, I am a Hairdressing&Beauty trainer at KPWC. I started training at KWDC on 04/8/2012 (1.50 months). After that APHEDA asked me to go to learn at Mong Russey Education Centre Batambang Province with Sokheng, to continue and practice there for 9 months from 18/9/2012 – 15/5/2013. I have learnt the skills: cutting, upstyling, make-up, nail bar, perming, nail art and hair colouring theory, practiced base parting, teaching and lesson planning. For me the courses were very important because I have learnt with the many year experience teacher and have good international standard. I am feeling that the course have good quality according to the current situation and I have my skills improving and continuing training in the centre. After finish training I have the skill improving to teach in my community and especially for the trainees who I have taught in the centre.
