Successful completion of Australian Year 12 or the Australian/overseas equivalent is mandatory. As part of the enrolment process, students are also required to complete a Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) test to ensure they have the ability to complete the course.
The institute's assessment methods include written assignments, written and oral questioning, observation, and work-based projects.
Yes, an application can be made for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) when the student believes that they have already attained the necessary skills and competencies elsewhere (work, other study etc.) or have an equivalent qualification or part of a qualification. MIA recognises the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTOs and grants credit for these towards an award where applicable. The application for RPL and/or Credit Transfer should be lodged prior to or immediately after the enrolment.
The completion of this qualification can allow students to work in hairdressing and beauty services job roles for a diversity of employers across beauty related fields such as Senior Beauty Therapist and Beautician (Small Business). Students can also enrol in Australian Universities to continue and pursue this career path, or apply their knowledge and skills to work anywhere in the world.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
