The SHB20116 Certificate II in Retail Cosmetics is a nationally recognised qualification.

The course is offered on campus in the heart of Perth’s CBD for 1 day OR 2 evenings a week for 12 weeks. You will be taught by fully qualified and trained retail make-up artist trainers who have more than 20 years combined experience in this area.

In preparation for industry, your learning will be primarily comprised of practical, hands-on work in the classroom. You will also undertake some practical theory assignments online, and receive training and assessor support throughout your studies.

This qualification is suited to learners who possess a sufficient grasp of the English language, adequate levels of numeracy, and who have an appropriate attitude and the motivation needed to enable them to undertake the demands of a Certificate II level qualification.

As part of the enrolment process, TrainSmart Australia have guidelines that help us assess whether this course will be suitable for you. These include:

• A face-to-face evaluation session with one of our friendly career advisors on our Perth campus (this is a must!);
• During this session, TSA’s career advisors reference the career counselling and/or Capacity of Benefit notes to summarise their thoughts on whether to proceed with enrolment or not, based on the interview/conversation. This is then retained in the learner record file;
• In addition, TSA must reasonably believe the learner is academically suited to undertake the course e.g. employment history and/or prior education/qualifications.

When you graduate this course, you’ll be able to work for any business that sells beauty or cosmetic products and services – or you might choose to blaze your own trail and work as a freelancer. Some of the job areas you might wish to explore may include:
