Are you interested in creating choices for your skills in the beauty industry?
OR
Have you been in the beauty industry and now you are looking to up-skill and move in a new direction?
The Advanced Diploma of Skin Therapy has been created in the beauty industry in response to the changing treatments and services in the industry. The new high level qualification recognises the complexity of the skin and the treatments offered in the beauty industry today. Like the Diploma of beauty this qualification offers a variety of career options for graduating students. The beauty industry has so much to offer, the skills you learn are in high demand in Australia and also across the globe.
Graduates can work in specialised clinics that offer clinical treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments and other skin related help to their clients. This beauty industry is not just about looking good it is about helping people feel great about themselves and that can be as simple as having good healthy skin.
A skin therapist is about analysing the skin and determining which treatments will help the client improve on the health of their skin but also treat skin conditions like pigmentation, acne or general dryness. This is an exciting time in the beauty industry with new technologies emerging all the time, making this industry interesting to work in and continuous learning.
If you are someone who is interested in skin and helping others with their skin care and health then this is the course for you.
We ensure that you learn exactly what the industry needs including skin analysis, specialised facials, skin care recommendations, cosmetic tanning, body massages, microdermabrasion and more. Be one-step-ahead of the rest and land your dream job faster in the beauty industry.
BEAUTY THERAPY AT ACTI
ACTI has a record of connecting students to employers and offering. We believe that the best way to learn is to work in the industry while you study. Our trainers have noticed how quickly and confidently our students are able to learn the fundamentals because they are already employed in the industry.
ACTI offers Meet and Greet nights with potential employers. It is such fun, it’s like speed dating with your future employers. We know that our employers like it too. It’s a fun night had by all and the result is that students receive employment offers.
When students graduate sometimes it is hard for them to know what to do next, how to find the job, how to apply for jobs. Here at ACTI we try and reduce that stress level by introducing our students to employers before you finish your studies.
