Speak with a Beauty Pro
Not at all. Our courses are designed for complete beginners — we start with the absolute fundamentals and build from there. Many of our most successful graduates had never held a nail brush or lash tweezer before enrolling.
Every kit is tailored to the course and contains salon-grade, professional tools — not cheap alternatives. For example, the Nail Tech kit includes an LED lamp, gel polishes, an e-file drill, acrylic powders, nail forms, and 40+ items. It's everything you need to start practising on real clients from day one. Worth up to $800.
Most students complete their course within 10–14 weeks studying part-time (around 8–10 hours per week). You have 12 months of full access, so you can go faster or slower depending on your life. There's no pressure and no expiry looming over you.
Yes. Australian Beauty School is a proud member of the Aesthetic & Beauty Industry Council (ABIC). Your certificate qualifies you to apply for professional liability insurance, register for HICAPS (health fund claims), work in salons, and run your own business. It's a real credential.
This is exactly who our courses are designed for. The platform is 100% on-demand — watch a module at 10pm, pause it, come back Thursday morning. Everything stays exactly where you left off. The majority of our students are busy mums, full-time workers, or both.
We partner with payment providers including Afterpay, Klarna, PayRight, and Elevant so you can split the cost into manageable weekly or fortnightly payments — completely interest-free. No credit checks, no hidden fees. Your first client booking will cover your first week's payment.
Complete the course, launch your business, and genuinely put in the effort to find clients. If you don't earn at least $5,000 within 6 months of graduating, we'll refund you in full. We'll ask you to show that you completed all modules and actively promoted your services — because we can't guarantee results you don't work for, but we can guarantee that if you do the work, we stand behind you. Full T&Cs here.
Every course includes a business module that covers pricing, Instagram marketing, online booking setup, and how to fill your calendar from day one. This isn't a vague "build a social media presence" module — it's a practical, step-by-step launch plan that our graduates actually use.

Your first paying client is
