Imagine in a little over 12 months having a new qualification in your hands!
Do you hear the call of your inner hairdresser? Or perhaps you’ve had enough of working for yourself and want to start a new career as a beauty therapist? Perhaps the artist in you secretly wants to become a nail technician?
Or perhaps you’d like to explore your artistic side on a bigger scale with the launch of our courses in Painting and Decorating, or Building and Construction for those with a passion for architecture.

With the Centre of Excellence (COE) as your recognised training provider any of these could easily become a reality once you enrol.

With over 31 years of expert training and innovative course materials, the COE can assure you of the highest level of training when you are studying in one of its campus locations.

We pride ourselves on our intimate class sizes and hands- on learning experience with our five days a week salon open to the local communities of Geelong and Swan Hill in our hair and beauty divisions. That means there is no placement and you don’t have the arduous task of finding your own clients. Everything is provided for your entire course on campus!

One of the stand out differences as a recognised training institute is the flexibility of our enrolment model. The demographic of the world has changed and with many mums of single status, or both parents working in a family, we felt that allowing you to choose your starting date-and in hairdressing, the choice of what days you wish to attend, proves a sustainable method for both the student and the COE.

Our courses start at Certificate II level, popular with our VET in schools, with our SHB20216 Certificate II in Salon Assistant and SHB20116 Certificate II in Retail Cosmetics. SHB30315 Certificates III in Nail Technology, SHB30115 Certificate III in Beauty Services, SHB40115 Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy and SHB50115 Diploma of Beauty Therapy are our courses on offer for further studies in the beauty industry. For the hairdressing devotees we offer our fantastic Certificate III and IV in Hairdressing.

Our painters to be, we offer CPC30611 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating and our CPC50210 Diploma of Building and Construction is perfect for those who wish to advance into the building trade.

The COE is we are so proud of all our students when they reach their goal of graduation and employment and we are known for our family atmosphere whilst you are studying under these recognised and accredited professional courses.
