Good question! On paper, all the beauty diploma’s available look the same. However there are so many ways The French experience goes further than any other beauty academy.  Here are a few of the things built into our Diploma experience:

1. The curriculum is shaped by the brands you’ll work with in industry. We gave the national syllabus a serious skin-focused upgrade and co-developed our curriculum directly with major industry names, including Hydrafacial, Vida Glow, Observ and Dermalux. This ensures you’ll graduate skilled in delivering in-demand treatments for the beauty jobs of tomorrow.
2. You leave with more than technical skill. Our exclusive Service Excellence program (built into the Diploma) is a personal development journey that runs alongside your technical training, helping you build soft skills such that clients expect in a luxury service environment. 
3. We bring the best employers to campus before you graduate. Our careers-first Futures for Frenchies program grants you access to real interviews with some of Australia’s leading beauty employers at our on-campus Job Fair. Rather than sending out resumes into the void after graduation, you’ll build relationships with employers while you’re still a student and graduate with genuine opportunities already in motion. We also build your employability from the ground up, teaching you the practical skills needed to interview for your dream role from resume writing, preparing your cover letter, and creating a LinkedIn profile, to how to present yourself professionally, and job interview preparation and practice.
4. You see where the industry is heading before everyone else does. Our beauty industry Showcase Days gives you direct exposure to the latest modalities and skin treatment techniques such as laser treatments, chemical peels, skin needling, radio-frequency and more. You’ll also attend seminars from the brands and employers actually shaping the industry’s direction and walk away with a clearer picture of where the opportunities are and what it takes to get there.
