The Academy Hair & Beauty

The Academy Hair and Beauty Training School began in 1976 at the campus on Rosemary Street in Belfast. Since then the school has expanded to a further four campuses; a second in Belfast and one in Newry, Ballymena and our newest campus in Portadown. The Academy Hair and Beauty Training School provides training in NVQ Level 1, 2 and 3 in hairdressing and beauty therapy under the Training for Success and ApprenticeshipsNI programmes funded by the Department for Employment and Learning and are offered across all campuses. The Academy welcomes students aged 16 to 24 years old. The Academy's provision of outstanding training, including leadership and management, quality of teaching and learning and standards and outcomes was recognised by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI), firstly in 2006, when they provided us with their highest possible level of confidence in our quality and awarded the Academy Grade 1 right across the provision.
