Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Understand Skin, Not Just Products

Skin science and analysis come first. After that, product labels stop being a guessing game.

Add Facials To What You Do

Already in beauty? This slots a treatment menu next to the services you offer now.

A Kit and a Real Routine

Cleanser, scrub, mask, day cream and headband arrive, so you practise a full facial rather than read about one.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Skin is the part of beauty people come back for monthly, which makes it steady work. Clinics, spas, salons and skincare counters all need it. The day is calm and repeat-heavy: consult, analyse, treat, recommend, rebook.

Skincare Consultant

Reading skin and matching a routine to it.

Skin Therapist

Treatments booked in a salon or clinic.

Relaxation Facial Therapist

Spa work, where the experience is the point.

Retail Specialist

Counter advice built on ingredient knowledge.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Clinical and advanced skin roles usually ask for beauty therapy training and supervised salon hours.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need beauty experience first?

No. It suits people starting out and people already working in beauty who want facials added.

What does it cost each week?

From $29 a week on a plan, with no deposit and no credit check. Enquire for current pricing.

How long does it take?

About 80 hours of study, with twelve months of access.

When do I get the kit?

After the cooling off period if you pay in full, or after four successful payments on a plan.

Who marks my work?

Clare Haeusler, a beauty therapist and salon director, with written notes on what to change.

Who delivers the course?

You enrol through The Career Academy and Ulleo, their education partner, delivers the learning.

Is this course accredited?

It carries a Certificate of Achievement, and the college is an ICOES accredited centre with Official Accreditation from the CPD Standards Office. That is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. Those are different things, and for relaxation facials and skincare advice the knowledge is what clients feel.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. A 10-Day Money Back Guarantee runs from enrolment.
