Enrolment Procedure

How the Enrolment Process Works at The National School of Aesthetics

The enrolment procedure is the steps you and we take to enrol you in one of our beauty courses. When you follow the enrolment procedure, this can help make your enrolment easier. After reading over the information in our course information pack and the accompanying information on our Web site, you are more than welcome to apply for one of our programmes.

Stages of Our Ākonga / Student Entry Process

Stage 1: Your Application

Complete the application form. Requirements may vary from programme to programme.


  • You must submit all supporting documents with your application form.
  • If we are not able to view your previous study on the NZQA Record of Learning Web site, you may need to submit proof of prior learning.
  • Please post, drop-in or courier your application to us.
  • We highly suggest you keep a copy of your application for your own records.
  • If you are applying for a professional development programme and trained with us in the last 5 years or so, we may not need proof of learning or to interview you. We will confirm this with you.
  • We reserve the right to combine the application and interview appointments into one appointment.

If you are an existing ākonga / student wishing to enrol in another programme with us, you merely need to see a member of the operations team for enrolment documentation and skip to the enrolment stage.

You can submit your application:

  • Online via the Apply Now page on our Web site (preferred method) – for ākonga a Aotearoa / domestic students only
  • By email to the email address on the application form (please ensure all documents are scanned clearly)
  • Face-to-face by booking an appointment over the phone
  • Posting all your documents to our postal address

Stage 2: Your Interview

The interview has four parts, all of which you must undertake.

Before the Interview

At the Interview

  • The tour of our campus (timetable permitting)
  • An individual interview between you and us

Our representatives evaluate whether you are suitable for the programme during the interview by assessing you against the programme requirements through both the interview and your submitted information.

After the Interview

  • If we accept your application, we will notify you in writing to offer you a place.
  • If we accept your application with provisions, we will notify you in writing to offer you a place provided you supply evidence to meet those provisions.
  • If we set your application to pending, we will notify you that your application is pending. We reserve the right not to comment on why your application is pending.
  • If we reject your application, we will notify you in writing. We reserve the right not to reveal our reasons to reject your application.

Stage 3: Enrolment

Complete the enrolment form and, if applicable, associated forms. You must submit the information required to satisfy the enrolment requirements before we can accept you into the programme.

  • You will need to enrol within two weeks (normal enrolment period) or as soon as possible (late enrolment period). To avoid disappointment, you should enrol as soon as possible.
  • If we offer you a place in the programme during the late enrolment period, we cannot guarantee a place is available, only that you meet our entry criteria.
  • If you successfully complete enrolment, we will notify you in writing we are holding a specific place for you in the programme.

Once enrolment is completed, you will receive:

  • a letter confirming enrolment. This letter will include your ID number; and
  • a copy of your enrolment form. Please keep it in a safe place; and
  • a copy of your Public Trust application, if applicable.
