I am currently doing the hairdressing course and I’m loving it, the videos are easy to follow, full of information and being online makes it so convenient. The assessment feedback is top tier and the staff are absolutely amazing and I’m shocked how fast I’m moving through the course. I have jumped from mining to hairdressing and my only regret is not doing it sooner

Its never too late to learn a new skill.

I have always been interested in hairdressing but thought I had missed my chance! Through NIB I now have the opportunity to learn the skills without having to quit my day job!

I love that I can complete this hairdressing course at my own pace. Between being a mum, working full time, and managing a busy family life, finding time to study can be really difficult.

I’ve been doing the course for over a year now and I’m still only halfway through, but having no set deadlines means there’s no pressure or stress. I can work through each module when I have the time, which keeps it enjoyable and allows me to take my time and do my best!

I highly recommend this course for those who want to learn a new skill and have a little time to spare

I began my hairdressing course while I was on a long overseas holiday, using my spare time away from home to finally learn a skill I had always wanted. The course took me around two years to nearly complete, as I balanced my studies with being a mother of three teenagers and managing freelance work in the film and media industry.
The course covers everything you need to know about hairdressing, from theory to practical skills, and the content is explained clearly and thoroughly. Communication with the college instructors has been excellent—always easy, supportive, and very prompt. The educational videos are well structured and easy to follow, while still allowing room to express your own creativity within the course guidelines if you are passionate about the craft.
I have only a few topics left to complete to be officially qualified, and I already feel confident working alongside other hairdressers in a salon environment. I’m really looking forward to finishing the course, taking on more clients, and officially beginning the next chapter of my hairdressing journey.

Best course iv ever taken!

Everything was straight forward and super easy to learn. Juggling being a mum of 3 and studying was super easy because of how straight forward the course was.
You could complete this course in as little as 2 weeks! They give you so much information to help with all the knowledge you need to know before you start putting this towards a business or career ❤️

Thankyou so much again Karen and Bianca for giving me so much guidance and answering all of the questions I had I appreciate you both !

Kind regards,

This course allows for a great study/life balance

I am currently completing the hairdressing course- being able to fit this course in with my life, allowing me to study and have it work with my family commitments has been incredible.
The feedback in the work is fast and constructive. I would highly recommend especially if you are changing career and have family commitments.

Everything was extremely easy to navigate and I loved how you could complete all tasks at your own pace with no time limited to complete things. Only thing I would say is when submitting practicals I found it odd that after submitting one, and you go to do another one it says “redo assessment” rather than saying new client or something. When I first submitted my second client I wasn’t sure if it would get rid of the my first one and not submit it to yous. But other than that, everything was perfect.
