Extremely helpful and supportive
I have just completed a course and had the most amazing experience from beginning to end. All of the work is laid out so easily that you are able to just glide through and if I ever had any problems I was able to get immediate support. I would highly recommend anyone to complete their courses through these guys. I loved it so much I am about to start another course and expand my salon

Complish what your heart desires
I was researching for a massage course that was flexible and understandable. I came across Beauty Online Courses, I applied in 2023 and just completed it. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the course content and exam. I would definitely recommend Beauty Online Courses to my family and friends.
Thank you so much 😊

I joined National Institute of Beauty 2…
I joined National Institute of Beauty 2 years ago and have been able to completely change my life. Back then I spoke to Davinia and the school was called Beleco Academy. I only had the option to do the hair course then which is what I did. I was worried about doing it online at first and my mum wanted me to go to tafe but I decided to give it a go and am glad I did.
Once I finished I started my own business and left my old job about a year ago. I now make more money doing my hairdressing business at home than I did in my old retail job. I also have 3 kids so it helps not having to go to work every day and I can just work at home and don't need childcare anymore. I'm a single mum and don't have a lot of support so it's been amazing to be able to do this so quickly.
Now that they have new courses I have started doing microblading. I thought this would be much harder than the hairdressing but it's been quite easy because I've done a course already with them and know how the system works. The tutors and Karen are really helpful and get back to you as soon as you submit your work which is great. I even had a video call with Karen to work on my eye shapes for microblading and she's very encouraging. These courses are the best thing ever if you want to learn hair and beauty.

Very happy with this Course
I was a beginner when I started, just obsessed with all the cool nail designs on Instagram and getting my own nails done. But after it got too expensive to pay to get mine done all the time, I decided to try a course and learn how to properly do my own – and honestly, I’m so glad I did! I can’t believe I wasted so many years messing around with normal polish. Learning how to use gels properly is such a game-changer and gives me so much excitement!
Now I’m doing all my friends nails, and my favourite system is definitely the soft gel. NIB just released a new course on it, and it’s super easy to follow. I can get extensions done so much quicker, which gives me more time to focus on fun nail art. I’d totally recommend doing it

NIOB THE BEST COLLEGE
I cannot recommend NIOB enough! The quality of education here is top-notch. From the moment I enrolled, I felt supported by the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff which are Davinia & Martin. They genuinely care about every student’s success and go above and beyond to make sure we understand the latest techniques and trends and are ultra fast in responding to course enquires .
Their online modules are modern, well-equipped, creating a perfect environment for learning and practice. I’ve have beginning to learn so much about hairstyling, beauty and skincare and will feel fully prepared to step into the beauty industry with confidence upon course completion.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to upskill, this college is the place to be. It exceeded all my expectations, and I’m so proud to be a NIOB student. If I could give them seven stars, I absolutely would

Why I chose to study with NIB
I am a full time mum but really wanted to jump in and learn all things beauty. I looked at doing my cert 4 in beauty but I wasn't able to juggle the work load with a 1 year old.
I came across National Institute of Beauty through a close friend. It was affordable, and I was able to pick and choose how long to complete each course. It was flexible and exactly what I was looking for.
The learning is great and very informative, staff are very attentive and ready to help with any issues. I have had a pleasing experience in completing my facial course, relaxation massage course, tinting (brow and lash) and lash perming course and I look forward to finishing my next classes in the future.

I’ve done the hairdressing course…
I’ve done the hairdressing course online with NIB and it’s the best decision ever. I have 3 kids and have been trying to do a course for about 10 years but can never get the time to do it or they have been too expensive.
When I found this course I spoke to them for ages before I decided to do it because I through it would be too hard for me. I was wrong because the course has been great and it’s been really easy to do in between all the other things I have to do like looking after my kids. I did take a long time to finish the course because I got sick for a while but I came back and they were great with me.
Because I live in the country and know everyone here it was easy to get models to practice on and they loved my work even when I was doing the course. Most of them now pay me to do their hair and I still have heaps of product left from the kits I got from the course. I got down a few times because I was having trouble with coluring but Bianca kept pushing me and helping me and I got through it and now can do great hair cuts and colours.
I have now been finished for 4 months and have started my business. I have some regular clients now and it keeps growing every week. My goal was to replace my part time job and I have already done that and now I can’t wait to see how much I can make. I think I’ll do another course as well soon because there’s not much around where I live and everyone tells me I’m really good at this stuff.
Thanks to NIB and the team especially Bianca!

Online Waxing Course
Taking the online waxing course was a transformative experience that enhanced both my technical skills and confidence. I gained a thorough understanding of various waxing techniques, including hard and soft wax applications, and learned about skin types and safety precautions. The hands-on practice allowed me to refine my precision and speed, while the feedback from instructors helped me identify areas for improvement. Beyond the practical skills, the course emphasized the importance of client communication and comfort, which I found invaluable for building trust and ensuring a positive experience for clients. Overall, it deepened my appreciation for the art of waxing and prepared me for a professional environment.

Very empowering
As a qualified hairdresser (South Africa), I was looking for an affordable, self-pased short course to refresh my knowledge and at the same provide me with an Australian Certificate. I found it very empowering.
The best part was that it was 100% self-pased with no deadlines (as life always throws some unexpected curve balls). The assistance, replies and support was always dealt with super promptly and professionally. This course is well worth it; especially considering that well deserved certificate of completion that opens up so many doors.
Thank you all at NIB.

Loved it
I studied the relaxation massage course through National Institute of Beauty. I found the course really great, a good amount of theory. The videos made everything really clear and easy to understand and really helped me grasp the techniques.The practical requirements of the course were great - made sure I was definitely confident to start my own little massage business. The course was well worth the financial investment.

I found this really great everything you need is there and they have Super helpful and supportive tutor's. Just finished my waxing and will be working towards my other subjects so I can have a home business. They have a lot of awesome flexible options which I found to be good as I didn’t have as much of a time pressure and could actually think

Amazing experience
Having the course be at your own pace was a god sent. As a busy University student being able to complete the content at my own pace was amazing! I am so grateful for all the help that the team gave me, when I had a question about anything I was able to receive an answer within the hour. Everyone was so understanding and encouraging… here I am now a certified nail technician.
Thank you everyone at National Institute of Beauty.
