Major Policies and Procedures

The Way We Do Things at The National School of Aesthetics to Ensure Consistency and Quality

We offer the most industry-recognised, major international qualification through our We’ve listed our major policies and procedures throughout this page and throughout this site. Here, you’ll find some of those policies and procedures that, while important, don’t seem to belong anywhere else on our site.

Correspondence Courses and Distance Learning

We do not offer correspondence courses or distance learning. Most (if not all) NZQA-Registered beauty therapy education providers do not offer correspondence courses or distance learning. Offering correspondence courses in beauty therapy or nail technology would be extremely difficult due to the highly practical nature of many parts of the programmes.

We strongly believe with beauty therapy and associated therapies being mainly practical in nature, achieving an employable practical standard cannot be achieved through correspondence. The only way beauty therapy and associated therapies can be learned to a strong practical standard is through supervision by a tutor.

In Case of Receivership and the Public Trust Account

In the case of receivership, liquidation (involuntary) or the revocation of NZQA Registration and / or Accreditation, your individual Public Trust account protects your paid fees. Individual means your student fee trust account pertains to you and is covered by an agreement between us and Public Trust.

Please see the Public Trust form section of the enrolment page for more information.

Insurance

We suggest that ākonga / students take out health insurance as well as insurance against theft or damage to personal property, in case of sickness, theft, or damage to property while attending the course or on the school grounds. We are not responsible for any damages or theft that may occur on the school grounds or through course-related outings.

International students are required to have adequate medical and travel insurance under the requirements set forth in the Code of Practice.
