Dress Standards, Terms and Conditions

Dress Standards
 In the Beauty Industry, appearance and presentation are paramount. Beauty Skills Academy maintains a strict dress code. Students represent Beauty Skills Academy not only in their attitudes and manners, but also in their appearance and presentation.

The specially designed uniform for Beauty Skills Academy comprises a tunic and matching trousers.
The fabric is good quality and is easy to care for and launder. The uniform must be worn at all times when attending college.

Terms and Conditions

1.  REFUND POLICY
Beauty Skills Academy recognizes that there may be circumstances where a student is unable to continue the course for which they have enrolled. The Policy is fair and reasonable, and every effort will be made to ensure that neither the student, nor Beauty Skills Academy, is unduly disadvantaged.

2.   CANCELLATION FEES
The cancellation fees as shown below apply WHETHER or NOT the student has elected to pay in full or by monthly installment:
• Student withdraws 1-21 days after commencement:50% of total course fees, payable immediately.
• Student withdraws more than 21 days after commencement: 100% of total course fees, payable immediately.
3.  DEFERRAL OF STUDIES

Every effort is made by Beauty Skills Academy to accommodate life crises that force deferral onto an individual. However, there is only so much that Beauty Skills Academy can reasonably do, to assist in such matters. All requests for deferral of studies must be made in writing.


In all cases, the outcome will be at the discretion of the Principal. While a deferral may be granted, it will not be for more than twelve months, and re-enrolment in a particular course is dependent on the availability of places in the selected course programme.

Deferral without financial penalty may not be an option, once a course passes its fourth week.

A student who is not making satisfactory progress is not eligible for deferment. A deferral will only be granted to such a student by the Principal in the most extenuating of circumstances, supported by the most reliable of evidence.

4.  COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT:
Competency standards are statements that define the skills and knowledge required to perform a specific piece of work to the standard required in an industry.
