New to the Beauty Industry?
Start With the Foundations
If you’re exploring beauty for the first time, you don’t need to learn everything at once.
Start by building strong foundations in areas such as:
- client consultation
- treatment theory
- anatomy and physiology relevant to the service
- contraindications and precautions
- hygiene and professional practice
- treatment procedures
- client records
- aftercare
- professional boundaries
- salon and business responsibilities
Then continue developing your knowledge as your professional goals evolve.
Already Working in Beauty?
Expand Your Professional Knowledge
The beauty industry changes constantly.
New treatments emerge, technology develops, client expectations change and professional standards continue to evolve.
TGBA courses can help existing beauty professionals refresh their knowledge, explore additional treatment areas and undertake continuing professional development without having to commit to full-time study.
Professional Education Beyond Treatment Technique
Being a successful beauty professional involves much more than learning the steps of a treatment.
That’s why TGBA education extends into areas such as:
Client Consultation
Learn how to gather relevant information, identify potential contraindications and make informed treatment decisions.
Hygiene & Professional Practice
Understand the importance of infection prevention, cleaning, hygiene and safe salon practices.
Treatment Theory
Develop the underlying knowledge that helps you understand not just how a treatment is performed, but why professional protocols matter.
Client Records & Aftercare
Learn the importance of appropriate documentation, treatment records and clear client aftercare.
Business Education
Build practical knowledge around establishing, managing and marketing a beauty business.

Understanding CPD Accreditation
When a TGBA course is described as CPD accredited, this means the course has undergone an independent accreditation process for continuing professional development and industry education purposes.
CPD accreditation should not be confused with Australia’s nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training system.
TGBA courses are not nationally recognised VET qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework unless a course is expressly identified as such.
This distinction matters, and we believe students should understand the type of education and certification they are purchasing.

Before Offering a Treatment Professionally
Training is one part of professional practice.
Depending on the treatment and where you operate, additional requirements may apply. These can include local or state requirements, council or premises requirements, public-health obligations, infection-control requirements, equipment requirements and professional or treatment liability insurance.
Requirements can also vary between insurers.
Before introducing a new treatment commercially, students should independently confirm the requirements that apply to the treatment, their location, business and insurer.
Invest in Your Professional Development
Learn Today. Keep Building Tomorrow.
Whether you want to explore a new treatment area, strengthen your existing knowledge or undertake continuing professional development, TGBA gives you the flexibility to learn online and progress at your own pace.

Important Course Information
The Global Beauty Academy provides private online beauty education and professional-development training.
Where a course is described as CPD accredited, the accreditation relates to continuing professional development and industry education and does not mean the course is a nationally recognised VET qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
Completion of a TGBA course does not by itself guarantee employment, professional registration, insurance coverage or legal eligibility to provide a particular treatment commercially.
Requirements vary according to the treatment, equipment used, insurer and Australian state, territory or local jurisdiction. Students are responsible for confirming any requirements relevant to their individual circumstances before providing services commercially.

Finally an online course that's not junk
Most online courses are a regretable purchase. Not this one. The videos were easy to understand, the instructions were informative and clear. I never felt like it was just something someone filmed in their spare room. The certificate came instantly, which was a huge relief. I’ve wanted to learn microneedling for years but always felt like I didn’t have enough background in the industry to study online. If you’re a beginner, this is honestly the best place to start. So many free courses included to help you get started.
I Felt Confident
I’d never done beauty before and this course made me feel like I actually could. The lessons were short and easy to follow. I finished quicker than I expected and got my certificate first go.
So Easy to Follow
I had no experience and still finished the course in one afternoon. The videos were super clear.
Affordable accreditation
I’ve done other online courses before where you finish and still feel unsure, but this one is different and you get certified. The Gua Sha videos are clear and actually shows you what to do step by step. I went from having no experience to feeling confident enough to start practicing straight away. I’ve now added this as a service and clients are already coming back for repeat treatments.
Classic Facial
What I appreciated most about this course is how realistic it is. It doesn’t promise anything unrealistic, it just teaches you properly. The structure is easy to follow and you don’t feel overwhelmed at any point. I work full-time, so being able to log in and study when it suited me made a huge difference. I’ve already started offering facials part-time and it’s going really well.
