The college is registered by the Victorian Qualifications Authority, accredited by the prestigious Swiss beauty therapy organisation CIDESCO and the English examining bodies - ITEC & CIBTAC. As an independent tertiary institution specialising in nationally and internationally accredited beauty therapy career education to a professional industry level, the qualifications that graduates receive from the college are both recognised and respected throughout the world.
