Exciting developments in Box Hill Institute’s Diploma of Beauty Therapy see it offering online and residential options as well as specialisations in 1) Permanent Hair Removal and Cosmeceuticals and 2) Spa and Wellness Therapies.
Recent information from Skills IQ indicated that Beauty Therapy training should be upgraded due to the “rapid advancement in technology… treatments and machinery that were once considered to be ‘advanced’ are now commonplace within the beauty industry.”
New Head of Beauty and Aesthetics, Hayley Whittle-Campbell has hit the ground running by revamping Box Hill Institute’s Diploma of Beauty Therapy.
“We have been listening to industry needs, tailoring a specialisation that trains students to be workplace-ready to deliver increasingly sophisticated treatments in Permanent Hair Removal and Cosmeceuticals,” she said.
“The amount of training required in this area has meant that the relaxation and pampering Spa side of beauty therapy, which requires markedly different workplace skills, can be bundled into a separation study stream.
“By allowing students to choose between two specialisations, they can now focus an on their areas of preference.”
She said that for the first time Beauty Therapy units will also be offered online in combination with residential intensives as well as in traditional face-to-face mode.
Both the Diploma of Beauty Therapy (Permanent Hair Removal and Cosmeceuticals specialisation) and the Advanced Diploma in IPL can be studied online and at residential held at the new Skin Clinic @BHI (Elgar campus) and The Chen Hotel at Box Hill.
The Diploma of Spa & Wellness Therapies can be undertaken through online studies and residential intensives at the new Lilydale campus on-site villa accommodation. Traditional and blended online units will be taught at Lilydale and Elgar campuses, as well.
