INSTANT SUCCESS

Just two weeks after graduating as a beauty therapist, Becky was working at a top salon in Subiaco and now, she wants to become a nurse.

“I absolutely loved my year at ACBT. Sure, it was hard work; but I also had a lot of fun with my new friends and lecturers. Every day is different with a really good mix of theory, practical work, assignments and exams." - Becky Cook

"The Student Clinic gave me a great insight into what it’s like to deal with real clients. After graduating with my Diploma, I instantly found a great job at Ultimate Aesthetics in Subiaco working alongside other Beauty Therapists, Dermal Therapists and Doctors. I’ve learnt so much in my new job and I’m definitely going to further my studies in the cosmetic industry. Maybe I’ll go to university to study nursing. I’ve found being a Beauty Therapist really rewarding and I’m so excited to see where it will take me.”

PERFECT BALANCE

Crystie’s beauty diploma gives her the flexibility to work, study and still have time to look after her young child at home.

"I guess I must love learning because I’m now a full-time student again. I’m studying for the Advanced Diploma of Cosmetic Dermal Science at AACDS. I’ve also set up a salon at home where I can carry on my passion of being a Makeup Artist whilst looking after my child." - Crystie Cavanah

"My career started in 2012 with a diploma from ACBT. It’s a great place to learn with the most amazing and supportive instructors offering practical, real world information and techniques. During my course, I worked at Perth’s Evoque Lash Spa providing high-end treatments for weight management and permanent eyelashes. The skills I learned at college definitely helped when it came to using the salon’s highly-specialised machines. Finishing my Advanced Diploma is the next step towards my goal of working in a CosMedical and Surgical environment.”

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Even when the economy is bad, people still find the money and time for beauty and hair!

"Beauty Therapy is an ever-changing and expanding industry. It opens so many doors and the possibilities are almost endless. I trained at ACBT and graduated in 2000 with my Diploma and an ITEC International Beauty Qualification." - Jodie Bilich

"My first job was at Keturah, Perth’s most prestigious Day Spa. It was a fantastic, luxurious place to work and I did so for almost 7 years. I’m still good friends with Dr Keturah. When my sister Stacey applied to do a course at ACBT, I went along with her and asked about becoming a lecturer. They said ‘yes’, so I did my training and I absolutely loved lecturing from the very first day. After 5 years, I moved to working in the Student Clinic and began studying for my nursing degree. Now that I have a baby, I continue to do beauty treatments in my home salon which I love. It’s so convenient and a great way to meet people.”

A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY

In just seven years, Rose has enjoyed more variety and growth in her professional life than many do in their career.

"My first industry job was at a cosmetic clinic called DermaQuest, where they perform a variety of treatments from facials through to breast implants. In my four years there, I worked my way up to Practice Manager, and developed my skills to the level of Skin Specialist – I was really proud of that!

After completing a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, I began a new role as lecturer in the Diploma of Beauty Therapy at ACBT. It was an inspiring experience to say the least, having the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and experience of the beauty industry, to educate and motivate students. Teaching has now led me to my role as WA State Manager for Clinic Care. I now train doctors, nurses, beauty and dermal therapists in performing a wide variety of treatments.

My journey to get where I am now has been a very diverse and amazing experience. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of a career in beauty to go for it – the world is yours for the conquering!”
