Welcome to the exciting world of Nails and Beauty! This growth industry is constantly looking for trained Nail Technicians, Beauticians, Massage Therapists and Make-up Artists to keep up with the demand.

We specialise in short full time and part time courses, which are practical in content, and easily understood.

Our courses are open to students of any age, from school leavers to mums returning to the work force. Though most applicants are female, we welcome applications from males as well.

Our students have such a great reputation that salons from all over Melbourne regularly call us looking for staff. We keep an updated database of salon vacancies to help you find a job within a Nail or Beauty Salon. The demand for Nail Technicians and Beauticians is always greater than the supply.

At The Academy we provide the highest level of professional training, with class sizes kept to a minimum to provide as much personal attention as you need.

In addition to trade skills, our courses cover Small Business Management, in order to best equip you in setting up your own business; as a home operator, renting space within a salon or opening a salon of your own.
