TINA SCHöLTZ

The driving force behind the academy...

 

Tina Schöltz, founder, owner and director of Potchefstroom Academy, is nationally and internationally known for her expertise in the field of skincare and health therapy, as well as related sciences.

After she obtained her BA degree in 1970 and an education diploma in 1971, she started her teaching career. However, it was not long before she identified the need for training in beauty and health therapy. After she had completed various national and international qualifications, also an international education Diploma in Beauty Therapy, she started Potchefstroom Academy and enrolled her first students in 1981.

As a master in entrepreneurship, which is proven by various awards, she is constantly investigating new ideas and leading new projects, resulting in the tremendous progression and expansion of the Academy. Therefore, the Academy is now offering courses in Interior design and decorating as well.


In 2003, she became the new director of the South African Academy for Hair and Skincare Technology (SAAHST). Students from SAAHST and Potchefstroom Academy benefit from an associative agreement between these two institutions, by having access to the shared facilities and expertise.

Tina’s enthusiasm and driving force are inspiring and continually uplift her staff and students to new heights.
