Diploma of Beauty Therapy Graduate

I graduated Demi International with my diploma of beauty therapy in April this year.

I have been working in a salon ever since and am loving my career so far. Going to Demi International was the best decision I could have made for my education. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and there was also lots of hands on experience. They taught me everything I needed to know to prepare me for the real world. Ann the principal gave me endless opportunities and helped set me up for a career in a highly sought after salon where I am furthering my education and look forward to continually developing my skills. There is no better choice for quality education and a friendly atmosphere than Demi International.

I really loved my time at Demi International, Ann and the Teachers were just amazing and professional.

It had been well over 20 years since I last studied and the class’s and materials where just so easy to understand and the quality was just outstanding. Since qualifying from Demi International I have worked in some Fantastic well-known Spa’s including RACV and Endota Spa. Thanks to Ann and the Teachers at Demi International you are just all AMAZING, I would not be where I am today without all you.

Diploma of Screen and Media

Demi International Beauty Academy is a great school to study make up and beauty services.

The Diploma of Screen and Media is a great course as you learn so many interesting make up facts and learn how to perfect your make up whether it be glamour make up or special effects. It is also great that they get guest speakers come into the class to show you products or how to create make up looks. The teachers are wonderful and are always there to help you along the way. Over the past year at school I have made some friends that I hope to have for life. I would recommend Demi International to anyone willing to start their career in freelance make up or special effects.

Take your love of makeup to the stage and screen with our
Diploma of Screen and Media (Specialist Makeup).

Makeup Artistry

Studying at Demi International Beauty Academy was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

I obtained a Diploma in Screen and Media in 2018 alongside some brilliant students and an amazing, informative and friendly teacher. Within 3 months I was already getting paid as a Makeup Artist working for myself and after 4 months I was hired as a HMUA for an award winning photographic studio. Two weeks after competing my diploma I was selected as the Makeup Director for Aura Makeup Australia and will be taking charge of the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival. I am thrilled with my outcome and I owe it all to Demi International!

Diploma in Screen and Media (Makeup)

I recently completed my Diploma in Screen and Media (Makeup) at Demi International on the Sunshine Coast Campus in Maroochydore.

This 12 month course has improved my skills so much. It wasn’t until I looked back of photos of my previous work and compared them to the end of the course to realise just how far I have come. Our teacher Stacey was so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient. The course covers every aspect of the makeup industry preparing you for the work force after course completion allowing you to decide on the direction you wish to take your makeup career. Since completing my diploma I have taken part in some amazing fashion shows such as Sunshine Coast Fashion week and also started my own successful freelance business catering to weddings and events. Without my new learned skills and confidence none of this would have been possible. I am so happy I chose to do this course; I’ve come out of it with so many news skills and also lots of new and supportive friendships. If you are looking at Studying makeup on the Sunshine Coast, look no further than Demi International!

Morgan Harris

Remedial Massage Therapist

I have always wanted a career in sports medicine I just didn’t know where to start.

Demi International helped me to get my foot in the door, by enrolling in the Certificate of Massage therapy that they offer. After falling in love with the concept I progressed and continued on to do the Diploma of Remedial Massage through Demi also. My teacher Seonaid Boyle was encouraging, supportive and always positive throughout my entire journey. I am certain I wouldn’t have found something I love to do as much as Remedial Massage without her help and the Directors of Demi International. If you are wanting to do something fun, active and rewarding I absolutely recommend this course, you will not be disappointed.

Cert II Makeup

I decided to complete a Cert II in Makeup mainly for self-interest.

I am so glad I chose to study at Demi International as there was such a wide variety of areas in makeup that the classes covered. Bambi was great and pushed me to try new things and go outside of my comfort zone, which produced great results. Our classes were great; varied and always interesting.

Lauren McLellan

Student Diploma of Specialist Makeup

From the very first day I started at Demi International, studying my Diploma of Specialised Makeup, my lovely lecturer Marcelle Ibberson, warmly welcomed my class and I to the academy and to the course that we were about to undertake for the next 6 months.

This incredible lady is without a doubt the most professional and wonderful lecturer and makeup artist that I have ever met. Marcelle is so unbelievably talented with her makeup and teaching skills, and provided me with the most useful tips and techniques that I can use for the rest of my future endeavours within the makeup industry. For anyone who is currently thinking of studying this Diploma with Marcelle, you will definitely have the time of your life, with such a dedicated and inspirational trainer. Whether it was a simple ‘Day Makeup’ or an intense SPFX ‘Zombie’ look, Marcelle knew every tip and trick about how to apply different materials and products for our looks. You don’t often find such professionalism and gifted traits in a lecturer, however, Marcelle is one of a kind and you will be more than thankful and honoured to have her by your side teaching you the best skills a professional makeup artist can have. Whether we were doing theory work or practical work, Marcelle always made our class environment a fun workplace. It was always just so exciting to walk through the doors to a bright happy face every morning, to someone who was so excited and keen to teach us all new things everyday, and I know that we will always value those skills forever. I was also lucky enough to also make many bonds with my peers within the class and became one big family. It was remarkable to see how fast one class and their lecturer can bond within just 6 months. It was certainly a bond that will never be forgotten and cherished forever.

Emma McKenzie

Student Diploma of Specialist Makeup

Studying a Diploma of specialised makeup services under the watchful eye of Marcelle Ibberson was not only a joy but a wonderfully creative process.

Exploring an extensive history of makeup and the science behind perfection was both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Working in a mature, professional environment gave a great sense of the responsibility and nature of the busy beauty industry. Within such a short period of time we learnt not only skills of makeup but made like-minded friends to last a lifetime.

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

It took me a long time to take the leap of faith needed to study a Diploma of Beauty Therapy.

I am so happy I decided to undertake this course at Demi International Beauty Academy. The classrooms provide a great range of products and equipment and the trainers are professionals who posses an abundance of knowledge that is second to none. Not only will I leave here with amazing qualifications, but also life long friends.

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

I’ve had so much fun this past year, I’ve loved every minute of it!

I’m so glad I finally took the steps to pursue my desire to work in the Beauty Industry and so pleased I chose Demi International Beauty Academy to gain my Diploma. The support and guidance I received from my teacher has been excellent. The friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, knowledge of the teachers and “hands on” experience has given me the confidence to get a job. I would never have guessed I would be working in the industry as quickly as I am and I honestly owe that to my teacher and Demi International. I can’t thank you enough and am going to miss coming each week.

Kelsey

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Ann and Bec at Demi international for all their support during the past year.

As I work full-time and get very limited days off, i did the beauty therapy diploma through correspondence and the girls were incredibly flexible with my hours, my school work and everything in between. They even came in on their days off to teach me practical work and theory! I also got a job doing mobile services within 6 months of starting my diploma! The school has an awesome atmosphere, great facilities and great teachers. I wish you all the very best for the future and I recommend this school to anyone!

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

I have enjoyed my time at Demi International.

I started my diploma at another school on the Sunshine Coast and felt as if I was going around in circles and not learning anything. I made the decision to move to Demi International mid way through the year to finish my diploma and it was the best decision I made for myself. I would recommend anyone of any age to study with Demi International.

Nathalia

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

I was accepted at Demi International in February 2011 as a Part Time student one day a week while I was still at school.

I did not feel quite ready to graduate when the time come and I was encouraged and welcomed to continue my studies full time at no additional cost to my family to enhance my skills until I was 100% confident. Now as I am about to graduate with a full time job I feel as though I have reached my full potential and I am leaving Demi International with a great understanding of the beauty industry and much more knowledge than I walked in with. Not only has this Academy introduced me to the beauty world, it has introduced me to some great people and friendships I will have for a lifetime. It is a great working environment and opens up many doors for future success. Its an experience I would recommend for everyone with an interest of pursuing a career with the beauty industry.

Bree

Student Cert II in Nail Technology

Demi International has been a great experience.

Ann was great to deal through. I was working interstate FIFO and Ann was more than happy for me to do the theory side as distance education. Once every three weeks I was able to come in for practical days and exams as living and working away was tough to get in. Ann helped out with finding accommodation that was suitable for me and we were able to negotiate time of classes to fit in with my flights. RPL on some components was easy and Ann was very negotiable through the entire course. The teacher was great, really got us in there and was very flexible with models. Overall it was a great experience an I would recommend Demi International to anyone looking into beauty. I’m so thankful.

Natasha

Student Diploma of Beauty Therapy

My time at Demi international was such a great year doing my diploma.

The atmosphere was very positive with Ann and Rebecca doing everything too help us succeed and become the best therapist we could be. During my time at Demi international my confidence with everything has improved heaps over my time there, with getting a job out of work experience 3 months before I graduated. I definitely recommend Demi international to anyone seeking a career in the beauty industry.

Demi International is a great beauty school where I have learnt so much.

It has been the best experience to complete my Diploma of Beauty Therapy with Demi International Beauty Academy. I recommend this school to anyone that is interested in beauty.

Student Short Course in Waxing

Just a quick note to say thank you to you and Rebecca.

I had such fun at the wax training course and can’t wait to learn more (particularly eye lash extensions and spray tanning) and practice heaps. I am excited to build my brand and get more experience over the rest of the year (I want to be perfect) and hopefully open up shop early next year – in time for summer.

Student Short course in Waxing

I just wanted to say thanks for organising the waxing course. Rebekah was a fabulous tutor and I loved the whole experience.

I’m trying to cancel my five week brazilian course held at the TAFE in favour of your short course in intimate waxing. I understand you just run these when you can and there isn’t a mad rush for me to do it…but I would like to complete this training with you in one day if possible!
