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.

Overview of Program - Hairdressing and Beauty

APHEDA’s Hairdressing and Beauty International training commenced in 2010 and is building each year. We are proud of our trainers and acknowledge the first class skill levels they bring to our program. We at APHEDA highly recognise their commitment and seek formal accreditation in Cambodia.

Our goal has always been two-fold, to train teachers “TOT” and develop technical skills in one, resulting in quality Co-operatives in remote communities for our trainees.

The key skill areas in the hair&beauty program are women's hair cutting-6weeks, bridal up styling-6 weeks, make-up-1 week, nail art-4weeks, perming-1week and today ToT is about International Colour Application Techniques and small business/co-operative management-1week. We at APHEDA concentrate on teaching staff within the centres and trainers transfer their skills onto students.

We are proud to work with our partners in five provinces including some of the poorest districts of the country. They are:

Women's Development Centres, Department of Women's Affairs - Preah Vihear
Kampot and Thmar Kul - Battambang
Cambodian Women for Peace and Development - Kampong Cham
Community Education Centre - Mong Russey District, Battambang
Department of Women's Affairs - Oddar Meanchey

Importantly, all our training includes life skill components in reproductive health, HIV awareness, hygiene, anti-domestic violence and nutrition training.

On completion, our graduates are supported to form small cooperatives with interest free loans, equipment and financial management training. We, at APHEDA recognise that skills without jobs are unsustainable.

APHEDA will continue to support teachers with a professional development program, as this ensures currency and safety in the workplace.

Our next week of training includes International Colour Application Techniques and Small Business Management. In 2015, our agenda will include Wedding Outfitting, that’s dressing the bride and guests, and English Language for Beginners.
