Advanced Diploma of Natural Beauty, Spa and Nail Therapy



What is Natural Beauty, Spa and Nail Therapy?
ACNT's Natural beauty, spa and nail therapy course is a combination of beauty treatments such as facial treatments, exfoliation, masks, wraps and nail therapy as well as the more traditional treatments such as manicures, pedicures and waxing. This course combines three very popular and complementary modalities, natural beauty, spa therapy and nail technology, integrating natural therapy treatments such as aromatherapy, massage and reflexology.

Graduates of this programme will become some of the most highly qualified and sought after therapists in Australia. As Australia’s leading natural therapies college ACNT  authoritatively teaches the important science components such as anatomy, physiology, natural nutrition and aromatic chemistry and pharmacology. Employers and other sources in the natural beauty industry world wide have indicated that this combination of therapies, together with ACNT’s exceptional level of education, gives ACNT graduates a distinct advantage in the marketplace.

Spa Therapy Training
Spa Therapy is a multi billion  dollar growth industry not just in Australia but around the world. ACNT has invested heavily in glamorous state of the art facilities for spa therapy training. By gaining expertise in the use of various spa treatments such as stone therapy, hydrotherapy and Indian Ayurvedic head massage, ACNT graduates will have up to the minute skills which will open doors in both the spa and beauty therapy industries.
