Hands up if you’ve spent hours curled up on your floor watching makeup tutorials and navigating the world of discount codes and blush brushes!

Hands up if you practice on your own face, even when you don’t have anywhere to go!

Hands up if your gal pals try to get you to jazz them up for a festival and you’re inevitably left with a long line of ‘can you do my hair?’ or ‘can you do my makeup like this photo?’ or ‘make my eyebrows look better!’.

Okay, cool. So it’s not just me?

Are you ready to get some serious qualifications up your sleeve so you can enter the space, make some cash and heck, even start your own business?

Minerva College are leading the way in the diploma space offering both a Diploma of Screen and Media (Specialist Makeup Services) and a Diploma of Beauty Therapy.

The perks? You can keep your job while you study. Minerva are super flexible and actually have the best online system ever, with an incredibly supportive team of educators ready to help. They have this thing called ‘mobile education technology’, so you can learn wherever and whenever you want. Don’t worry, you still get to practice your new learned skills face-to-face with your trainer in a salon, which pairs perfectly! That hands-on experience is essential.

Here’s a list of the good stuff you’ll pick up along the way:

  • the skills and knowledge to be an accredited make-up artist, hair stylist or beautician, with practical training on applying and removing anything from basic looks to special effects/prosthetic make-up (hello Halloween!)
  • the background and experience needed to work in a range of areas, from entertainment events to theatres and the screen, media and entertainment industries
  • the creative skills needed to interpret briefs to create required looks using your make-up and hair styling skills
  • the ability to apply your skills as a beautician in salons, with training in lash and brow services, waxing, manicure and pedicure, and facial treatments
  • the understanding and skills to apply make-up for specific needs, such as photography, filming and theatre
