In order to study the SHB50115 Diploma of Beauty Therapy OR the SHB30115 Certificate III in Beauty Services, a student must have a minimum IELTS score of 5.5 and be at least 18 years of age for enrolment.

Overseas students should be aware that it is their duty to advise the provider of any change in their contact details (i.e. Australian residential address and telephone number) as automatic visa cancellation could occur without knowledge to the student. Such cancellation may not be revoked if it has occurred where the student has failed to keep the provider informed.

Overseas students studying in Australia must have private health insurance as a condition of their Student Visa. It is the student’s responsibility to organise their own health cover prior to and for the duration of their stay in Australia. The approximate cost of health care cover for one year is $500.00. Please note that you must apply for OSHC before you apply for your student visa.

The minimum English Language proficiency is IELTS score of 5.5 & evidence of English language proficiency must be provided for entry into the course.
Students who have only achieved the minimum scores are encouraged to undertake further English language study.
