The Academy of Hair and Beauty has been registered as Registered Training Organisation since 1991. Being privately operated, it is located in Melbourne, Victoria. The Academy is Australia’s major private college trainer of hairdressers and beauticians. More than 14,000 students have qualified through The Academy. The Academy has always been a leader in hairdressing and beauty education and has been at the forefront of innovation, introducing new training methods and content over nearly 86 years. The Academy began in 1932 and was the first college in Australia to introduce intensive, full time, college- based training in hairdressing. This option had also been available in the United Kingdom and the owners of the then ‘Australian Academy of Hairdressing’ brought all their expertise and experience with them when they migrated to Australia. This offered students the opportunity to gain their industry qualifications by either taking on a four year apprenticeship or by studying full time in a college for one year.
The average tuition cost of this academy is A$6,400.
