ABOUT US

At SA Perfumery & Cosmetics Training Institution (SAPACTI), we help people turn a love of perfumery, cosmetics, and skincare into a real career — or a real business. We're a team of expert perfumers, cosmetic scientists, and trainers based right here in South Africa, and we've built our courses around one simple belief: you learn best by actually making the product, not just watching someone else make it. How we teach Our distance learning programs let you study at your own pace, from home, with proper hands-on training — not just theory. Every course comes with a full practical kit and one-on-one guidance from a specialist, so you're never figuring it out alone. We currently offer training across:
  • Perfumery — the art and science of creating unique, captivating fragrances
  • Cosmetics Formulation — from skincare and haircare to lip products and beyond
  • Specialised short courses — including candle making, soap making, and more
Why students choose us
  • Flexible — learn anytime, anywhere, at your own pace
  • Practical — real hands-on training with proper kits, not just video lessons
  • Industry-relevant — taught by working professionals who know the market
  • Accessible — quality training at a fair price
Our mission To inspire and equip the next generation of South African perfumers and cosmetics entrepreneurs — with the real skills, confidence, and support to build something of their own. We're proud to hold B-BBEE Level 1 contributor status, and we take that commitment to transformation and empowerment seriously — not as a badge, but as part of how we do business. Our values
  • Excellence — in our training, our support, and everything in between
  • Creativity — we push our students to explore and innovate, not just follow a formula
  • Empowerment — your growth and success is the whole point of what we do
  • Integrity — honest, transparent, and student-first, always
