There are two main ways you can pay for this course: state and national government subsidies and loans, or private finance options such as loans and payment plans.
Government funding loan programs help eligible students cover tuition fees over the duration of the course and the loan is then repaid through the tax system based on income, while some states offer subsidies, meaning the government pays for all or some of your course.
If you are not eligible for government funding, students are able to borrow partial or full funding for this course from a number of private providers – or our recommended partnered provider Zeefi (formerly Study Loans) – with extended loan periods of up to 48 months. Students who privately pay for their Beauty Diploma course must pay a deposit to secure their placement.
