Our Certificate III in Beauty Services is taught over a 14-month period just two days a week at our central Traralgon campus. This course will allow you to put your new skills into practice both in and out of the classroom, increasing your confidence and boosting your employment opportunities.
Do you have a passion for all things beauty? Do you love making people feel special and cared for? Then a Certificate III in Beauty Services course is for you.
You’ll learn a range of different beauty techniques such as manicures and pedicures (gel and dip powder nail enhancements), waxing services, lash and brow treatments, cosmetic tanning and make-up application, as well as key salon skills like effective communication, reception duties and product and service advice. Our expert trainers will guide every step of the way, making sure you feel comfortable and confident in your studies – while also letting your creativity shine!
