Lorry Thomas

Incredibly happy with every aspect of the 3 beauty courses I completed, studying from home has been a lifesaver. My kits were gorgeous and very helpful tutors. I can now add 3 more services to my home-based salon! Super happy, highly recommend

Shannon

Enrolling into my beauty course was a fantastic experience for me. The Customer Service is second to none, right from the introductory phone calls (thanks Hayley!) through to the finance department, who made it super easy and affordable. (in weekly instalments!) The course material is excellent, and you are shown exactly how to navigate the course with ease. (thanks Ella) I am super excited to be studying my beauty course and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting a hassle-free study experience. Thank you!

Janelle Berry

I used this course to give me something that I enjoy doing after I completed year 12. I finished this course in just over a month and had a very good experience completing it. I enjoy doing makeup on myself and creating new looks so once school ended I decided to do the course that gives me something to do in my spare time, as an extra income whilst exploring other more reliable jobs and whilst beginning to study at University.

Madeline

Amazing Courses. I started with the MUA course and am now completing 4 courses with Beauty School. I have now started my own business and on my way to my dream career. I couldn’t recommend these courses enough.
