Lash extensions course

I’m currently taking an eyelash extension course, and one of the best things about this school is that it’s completely online, allowing me to study at my own pace. Whenever I submit a test, I receive feedback within 24 hours, with detailed comments on what I did well and what I can improve.

Through the student website, I can watch video demonstrations for each assignment, learn from the instructor’s examples, and then work through the tasks on my own. It’s a very self-directed learning style, which I really enjoy.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who prefers to study independently, without pressure or being influenced by others, and who wants to focus quietly on their own progress.

I also enrolled in the course with the starter kit included, and it has been extremely helpful as I plan to grow my beauty business in the future.

I couldn’t have asked for a better nail…

I couldn’t have asked for a better nail technician school to learn from. The level of support, knowledge, and genuine care for students truly stands out. What made the biggest difference for me was the video feedback — it was world-class. Being able to see detailed demonstrations along with personalised critiques helped me improve my technique so much faster than I expected. Every piece of feedback was clear, constructive, and incredibly encouraging. I always felt supported, guided, and inspired to keep getting better. I’m so grateful for the skills and confidence I gained through this training.

I looked at a few different facials course companies , and ended up choosing this company.
The App was easy to use and forms that my models filled in was adequate information.
Also the price of this course was affordable and with a payment plan and an extra bonus the Business course.
Great feed back from accessors.
Thankyou so much

Learn at your own pace

This course has given me the knowledge and confidence to take the next step in starting my hairdressing career. At 36 years of age, you are never too old to begin a new passion.
I feel incredibly lucky that this course fits in so well with raising my family and managing work commitments.
I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn in their own time.

The trainers were friendly, supportive and very professional. I learned a lot and feel more confident in my skills. I would recommend this institute to anyone interested in the beauty industry.

I am currently doing the hairdressing…

I am currently doing the hairdressing course and I’m loving it, the videos are easy to follow, full of information and being online makes it so convenient. The assessment feedback is top tier and the staff are absolutely amazing and I’m shocked how fast I’m moving through the course. I have jumped from mining to hairdressing and my only regret is not doing it sooner

Its never too late to learn a new skill.

I have always been interested in hairdressing but thought I had missed my chance! Through NIB I now have the opportunity to learn the skills without having to quit my day job!

I love that I can complete this hairdressing course at my own pace. Between being a mum, working full time, and managing a busy family life, finding time to study can be really difficult.

I’ve been doing the course for over a year now and I’m still only halfway through, but having no set deadlines means there’s no pressure or stress. I can work through each module when I have the time, which keeps it enjoyable and allows me to take my time and do my best!

I highly recommend this course for those who want to learn a new skill and have a little time to spare

I began my hairdressing course while I was on a long overseas holiday, using my spare time away from home to finally learn a skill I had always wanted. The course took me around two years to nearly complete, as I balanced my studies with being a mother of three teenagers and managing freelance work in the film and media industry.
The course covers everything you need to know about hairdressing, from theory to practical skills, and the content is explained clearly and thoroughly. Communication with the college instructors has been excellent—always easy, supportive, and very prompt. The educational videos are well structured and easy to follow, while still allowing room to express your own creativity within the course guidelines if you are passionate about the craft.
I have only a few topics left to complete to be officially qualified, and I already feel confident working alongside other hairdressers in a salon environment. I’m really looking forward to finishing the course, taking on more clients, and officially beginning the next chapter of my hairdressing journey.
