We have a wide range of different payment plan options. Once you decide to enrol into one of our courses our enrolments team will ask you a couple of questions to establish which option will be best suitable for you.
Are your courses government funded?
No, unfortunately we do not have any funding from the government. We have however received funding from a range of different job agencies and organisations in the past so this may be an option if you are involved with a support organisation.
How much will I earn when I finish the course?
This can vary quite a bit, but for example a typical eyelash technician can earn anywhere up to $5,000 per week simply working from home. Technicians are charging up to $300 for 2.5 hours work.
How do I train online?
There’s an online portal which is really easy to navigate. There are learning materials in downloadable formats, plus eBooks and videos from industry experts.
Our courses are all filmed in a simplified, step-by step format in our salon, so it’s like you are right there in the salon while watching from your own home. All assessments are done online and your tutor will mark you and give you direct feedback.
How can you ensure I am learning online?
Online learning has proven to be so effective because you can study in bite sized chunks while you start practising instead of cramming too much into a day and getting fatigued. You can go back and re-watch the video lessons as often as you like which means if you are struggling you can go back and re-visit that specific topic as many times as you need.
What assessments will I need to complete?
Our courses come included with a mixture of written, multiple choice and practical assessments. There is nothing unachievable or scary to worry about – we just want to make sure we are properly preparing you for real life salon situations, ensure you have understood all the learning material and your work is to industry standard. You have endless assessment submissions, and we will guide you through and assist with the whole process.
Do I have to go in anywhere for my final assessment?
All assessments are conducted online, you can be anywhere in the world!
Do you have a face-to-face class?
Yes, we do. You can find out more and let us know of your interest via our Contact us page.

Do I need to buy any other textbooks, materials or software?
Nope, absolutely everything you need is included in the course price. As long as you have a device and access to the internet, you’re all set.
Does it come with all equipment I need?
Yes, all of our courses come with a full kit which is included in the course price. Your kit will be delivered directly to your door. This allows us to know you are working with quality products and you can have peace of mind knowing you will have the same products we are using in the video tutorials. We have a lesson on the products that come in your kit to ensure you understand exactly how to use them.
Do students have the sole responsibility to know and be aware of their own state laws regarding the practice and application of eyelash extensions?
Yes, Bela Beauty Academy cannot be held responsible for any student failing to abide by your own state laws relating to eyelash extension courses. Always do your due diligence with your state and insurance company.
I haven’t studied forever…it’s terrifying! What if I fail?
Lots of students feel the same, don’t stress. You’ll get loads of help and support and you can study at your own pace. And you can re-sit any assessment free of charge as many times as it takes until you’ve got the knowledge down pat.
Can I put the training on hold if something pops up?
Yes, that’s no problem. You have lifetime access to the course and you can study at your own pace, including taking a break if you need to.
What happens if I need to cancel my course?
