This is what some of our fantastic trainers have to say about their job!
Mishana Campbell - Wellington Campus
I always desired to have a career where I can help to empower other woman.
I started in hairdressing, and realised that it wasn’t the right path for me, so I took a leap of faith and decided to study at Elite School of Beauty & Spa. I was surrounded by trainers who made a positive difference in my life, day-in and day-out, and I could see that I made the right move - I found my passion, and it's beauty therapy!
Being able to make a positive change to peoples lives is so rewarding; seeing their skin change and lifting their confidence. This led me into wanting to teach and inspire others who were interested in the same path as me.
Everyday I work in a career that I'm truly passionate about and I share my knowledge with our students. This reminds me that I'm definitely in the right place and I made the right career choice. It's exciting to know that I'm helping others with their own self-growth by leading students into the rewarding beauty industry, where they themselves will continue to help and empower other woman - not just in our community, but around the world!
Hannah Sikking - Hamilton Campus
As a trainer I feel we have small successes everyday. Being able to see our students improve even in just the slightest. Maybe they don’t see these small improvements, but we do.
The best experience I've had yet, is that one of my students had the biggest fear of needles! To the point she could not even touch a needle within a packet. The student persevered no matter how many times she was sick, no matter how many tears she shed... she even wanted to give up and end her Level 5 journey because of this fear.
However, I spent many afternoons encouraging and pushing her through. When it got tough, she would let me know she hated me and I wouldn’t see her tomorrow… but I just smiled and said “Good. We're getting somewhere, I’ll see you tomorrow”.
This student ended up pushing through her fear and is now doing electrolysis like a pro! I'm so proud what she's achieved in these past few weeks, and not letting her give up, but how I was able to help her see her own potential.
Reasons like this is why I love training our students. We make such a positive difference everyday in someone’s life, big or small. We help students towards brighter futures!
“Courage and perseverance - make difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish!”

Annual Staff Conference
Every January we take our team away for a very special annual conference for 3 full days jam packed with celebration, fun and learning. This time together allows us to focus on the things that are really important to us and sets us up for the year ahead.
Some of the exciting destinations we have ventured to in the last few years are Queenstown, Hanmer Springs, Samoa & in 2019 we were treated to the stunning Intercontinental in beautiful Fiji, the second time in 3 years.
Refueling Day
In addition to our annual conference, we hold a mid-year event, spending the day sharing (more) learning and celebrating our achievements! Our staff are pivotal to company prosperity, so our mid-winter Refueling day leaves everyone feeling rejuvenated and refocused on the years' remaining goals.

Our Brand Story
We’re a big thinker, quick thinker, fast mover, first mover; an innovator, hungry, vibrant, vigorous, daring and grounded. This isn’t a list. It’s who we are and how we do things. We’re not so much a glass half full, but a cup that runneth over, with ideas, energy and goodwill. Students are our reason for being. They give as much to us as we give to them. We want to be a power for good and develop students who are totally primed for the job market. But we can’t do any of this by ourselves. The roles of parents and schools are vital. The industry is our ‘other half’. A partnership based on professional respect, mutual alignment and common goals. The senses are important to us. Common sense, a sense of community, a sense of purpose and a sense of destiny. We believe that fortune favours the brave. We believe that fun and formality are different sides of the same coin. We believe that the best teams have an unbreakable bond. And what does all this mean? We are the ultimate, educational entrepreneurs.
Elite School of Beauty & Spa is one of the trading names for the registered PTE Yoobee Colleges.
