As one of the fastest growing professions in Australia, the team at Freshmag thought it would be a great idea to find out a little bit more about just what a beauty therapist does, though I have to admit, we were mostly excited about the prospect of being pampered for the day…
We were pretty excited when tasked with looking into the Beauty Therapy courses run by the Health Arts College. I must say that while all our work is always looked at entirely from a business perspective, with the main point being giving the world some hard hitting journalism, a massage once awhile in the line of duty goes a long way!
For those who are not entirely aware of what a Beauty Therapist is, they are trained as electrolysists, body therapists and beauticians all in the one neat little package and are in one of the fastest growing sectors in the Australian job market!
‘A diploma of beauty therapy is probably the most sought after beauty qualification available as it gives the applicant a wide variety of skills which can be applied to many different scenarios.’
Treatments are designed to improve skin care and the skins condition and includes a range of electrotherapy treatments for face and body. Because of the nature of the work it is assumed most Beauty Therapists are naturally caring, tactful and intelligent people, and importantly they are also trained to know when it is best to refer their clients to a doctor.
Getting a Diploma in Beauty Therapy is a very forward step in making it in the beauty industry and securing a career which you can feel yourself grow and prosper in.
Due to a growing interest in feeling fit and healthy there has been a growth in job positions for Beauty Therapists. There is also a rapid turnover in job opportunities, making it possible to reach a supervisory or management related role within 2-3 years of qualifying.
“Getting a Diploma in Beauty Therapy is a very forward step in making it in the beauty industry and securing a career which you can feel yourself grow and prosper in.”
There is no specific age which is best to become a Beauty Therapist, entrants are usually anything from 17 years old and upwards while some still prefer the experience and intuitiveness brought to the table by an older professional.
Private schools such as The Health Arts College are often some of the best proving grounds for someone wanting to enter the field of beauty therapy as there are a wider variety of students to learn with and also there is generally a smaller student to teacher ratio, meaning the classes are more intensive and have more one on one time with the person teaching the course. This enables our students to gain a very high standard of expertise and professionalism.
If you’re looking to join a rapidly growing profession with real growth opportunities, The Health Arts College is recognised as an excellent training provider that turns out qualified beauty therapists with an exceptional standard of professionalism.
Also if you live in Victoria you may be eligible for VET Fee-Help which could entitle you to receive the entire funding for your course!
