FAQ

We offer short industry relevant courses run by industry professionals. All graduated students receive a certificate of completion. If you are in a country like Australia where there are no licensing requirements, our certificate is all you need to get started in the industry. You are also able to obtain insurance.
The Hair and Beauty industry in Australia was deregulated in 1986, therefore it is no longer a legal requirement to complete a course run by a registered training organisation (RTO) to work in the industry or run your own salon.
Our courses offer specific and explicit training in each study area that leaves our students more accomplished and our students are often offered positions over other students from other schools.
So, to be very clear – successfully completing our certificate courses will enable you to gain employment in retail, freelancing, beauty salons and spa’s. You will also be able to use your certificate to gain insurance for your business as well as membership into professional makeup brands ‘professional discount programs’.
You don’t need to be certified to be educated, we teach you to become skilled and experienced which in turn makes you qualified. -

Yes. Students are responsible for obtaining models on the days designated. For example:
- Models are required from week 2 for Beginners/Intermediate Makeup (if you are unable to get a model for your practical, you can work on yourself)
- Models are required each week for Advanced Makeup (if you are unable to get a model for your practical, you can work on yourself)
- Models are required each week for Hair (if you are unable to get a model for your practical, you can purchase a mannequin head from the school)
- Models are required every week for Pro Nails (if you are unable to get a model, you can work on yourself or nail hands are available for purchase at the school).
- Models are required from week 2 for Classic and Volume Eyelash Extensions
- Models are required from weeks 5 to 12 for Barbering
In unusual circumstances when you can’t get a model you will have options to work on either a mannequin head (Hair), your own hands (Nails), your own face (Makeup). We do not encourage this though, you must ensure that you are able to get a reliable model every week where required so that we can properly assess your work. -
