I studied the Diploma of Beauty Therapy in 2024 and successfully completed it at Hyde Park College. Even in the first semester I learnt so much. That was what it was like in the College, no timewasting, extensive knowledge and a lot of practice. The Principal Dianne Miles and Lecturer Denise are superb! They will support you through your studies and never let you down and make sure you have everything thing you need for your future career. I loved my time at the college, and I am so proud and happy I studied there. Thank you so much, Dianne and Denise for everything you do for your students. I am confident to recommend Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy to everyone who wants to be truly professional and reach all their career goals!

My name is Abby Munro and I studied my Diploma of Beauty Therapy at Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the college! The course was extremely thorough and going to college each day sparked a new excitement of what I would be learning next! The college is a beautiful space and has amazing lecturers who teach in a way that all learning levels are able to succeed in the Beauty Industry. Furthermore the amount of hands on/client based learning gets you more than ready to head straight out into your career feeling confident and excited! I now own my own Skin Clinic in Port Lincoln.

“I entered Hyde Park Beauty as a mature age student, having worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years. Dianne and her staff made me feel welcome from the minute I arrived and provided me with all the support I could have wished for in my transition into the beauty industry. I found the short courses I undertook to be very thorough in both the theory and practical component and the total experience invaluable.
I am now employed at ‘Spirit Spa Body and Beauty’ in Mt Barker as a part time beauty therapist utilizing the skills and knowledge, I gained from Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy. I could not recommend Dianne and her staff more highly to anyone wishing to undertake study in beauty therapy. Thankyou Dianne. And I really do mean…THANKYOU!!! You have enabled me to work in a field that I thoroughly love and enjoy.”

I am currently studying the Diploma in Beauty Therapy at Hyde Park College, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. The college principal, Dianne, is amazing, and our lecturer, Denise, is equally incredible. Their dedication and expertise have made my learning journey truly enriching. Both Dianne and Denise have so much experience and knowledge of the beauty industry and working within the high standards set by CIDESCO and CIBTAC. Having completed my first semester in aesthetics, I can confidently say that I have learned so much more than I would have at other beauty colleges in SA. The learning material is very in-depth, yet it is taught in a way that we, as students, can easily understand and apply. I highly recommend Hyde Park College to anyone interested in pursuing a career in beauty therapy, or other short courses in beauty!

“I studied with HPC in 2017 in hopes of attaining the highest skill set in regards to the beauty industry. The in-depth knowledge of the body, products and machinery and making connections with leading beauty and health companies has led me to starting my own business, and being employed at Damask Beauty Therapy in the Industry immediately after graduating.”

The knowledge I gained from Hyde Park College was invaluable into the industry, it has given me an excellent and thorough understanding of Beauty, Anatomy and Physiology.
I had confidence at the onset of my career and a good retention of the knowledge gained.
I have worked exactly where I wanted a week after graduating.
Last month (Dec 2017) I was awarded Spa Therapist of the Year for Endota Norwood 2017. Thank you Dianne.

“I completed my International Diploma of Beauty Therapy in June 2017. The staff were always very understanding and willing to help when needed. We were given many exclusive opportunities to learn about different treatments and products. During the final semester of my Diploma, I was lucky enough to gain employment at a beautiful well-known salon that I couldn’t have received without the help of Dianne and having studied at her college.
I have now moved back to my hometown in Victoria and am working in a Health Food shop as well as working on starting up my own mobile and home salon/spa.”

I’ve completed my diploma and this was been the perfect place for me. I graduated with an unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to Dianne and Denise for teaching me and helping me kick start my career. Both are so supportive, understanding and it inclusive of everyone making it a safe learning environment. The training and knowledge is so valuable and unmatched!!
I’m so grateful to study with Hyde park college and the opportunities it has given me.

I graduated from Hyde Park College in 2013. As soon as I had my interview with Dianne I knew that this was the best college to graduate from due to its very high standards of education, professionalism and the amount of knowledge about the industry was exceptional.
Being an older student, I thought I might have felt out of place, but so not the case. I made some beautiful friendships and it was such a great year of learning. It was hard work but Dianne was always there to help me through and my results speak for themselves. Having achieved my CIBTAC and CIDESCO qualifications as well as my Australian diploma has given me so much confidence in my knowledge for the industry. I always wanted the goal of working for myself and this I have achieved due to the hard work and the standard of training the college provides.
If you are wanting a career in the beauty industry Hyde Park College is the place to go.

I would recommend anyone to go to Hyde Park College. My time spent at the College was wonderful, I learned easily in a superb comfortable and highly professional
environment. Any issues I had I found were easily resolved, by talking with Dianne, nothing too hard for her. I always felt so welcome every time I stepped in the door of the College or the staff office. As I was working at the same time as studying at the College, sometimes things were a little challenging, but any stress was eased by
talking with Dianne, she is so lovely and very accommodating. I was there to learn, and as quickly as I could. I was the only part time student, yet I was kept up to date very well with the full time students, because my needs were always taken into consideration. I work for Clarins part time and also ran my own successful Mobile Make up artist business. I never hesitate to recommend people to Hyde Park College; it was a positive and wonderful experience for me.

Hyde Park College of Beauty and Body Therapy provides the ultimate training for a career in beauty. The highly acclaimed college is the only accredited college in South Australia that offers the prestigious CIDESCO International Diploma in Beauty Therapy, which is recognised worldwide.
The tutors Dianne and Denise are exceptional and share a vast wealth of knowledge; with years of experience both nationally and internationally within the beauty industry. They offer a truly professional training, upholding the highest standards in a very supportive and nurturing environment. The training includes interactive theory and practical classes combined with work experience.
I am proud to have studied at such a fantastic college and would highly recommend enrolling there if you are interested in pursuing a career in the beauty industry.

I was a student of Hyde Park College in 2001. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the college graduating with a Diploma in Beauty Therapy, CIDESCO Diploma in Beauty Therapy and CIBTAC Face and Body Diplomas also. I believe the close learning environment and the delivery of training definitely gave me an advantage, moulding me into a successful beauty and spa therapist. Since graduating at the college, I have been lucky enough to extend my career through various roles including spa manager for Jurlique North Adelaide and Holdfast Shores Wellness Sanctuary, returning to the college to assist in the administration of the college and business studies, for the students and eventually branching off and opening my own skin and body therapy clinic which I am the sole proprietor. I do believe that the college gave me a platform for my career and I have never questioned my choice of choosing Hyde Park College.

Parent Testimonial.
In 2018 our 17 year old daughter moved to Adelaide from regional SA to do her Diploma of Beauty Therapy at Hyde Park College of Skin & Beauty. To be honest we were scared. She was 4 months off turning 18 and moving to the big smoke, without us. However she wasn’t interested in a gap year. With a history of anxiousness we were hesitant Abby would manage. We were so wrong. Dianne wrapped her arms around her and kind of became her Adelaide mum! Our daughter blossomed into a confident young woman taking out top of the class grades for the year and a few years later opening her very own skin clinic in Port Lincoln. Dianne’s “no nonsense” old fashioned teaching was exactly what we all wanted. The skills Abby gained were of such a high level, from her theory & practical with all things beauty to life skills. We had looked at several colleges in Adelaide for Abby to do her course & we hit the jackpot with this one. Highly recommend. Thank you Dianne. Sharmayne Munro

Studying at Hyde Park College was a true privilege as I was able to grow as a person and also develop my skills as a Beauty Therapist. Upon completion of my studies, I gained both National and International qualifications and I had successfully been appointed employment at high end Australian Spas, including Stables Day Spa at Mt. Lofty House, and the well renowned Endota Spa. Within a year of working at Endota Spa I won Beauty Therapist of the year. I believe this to be because of my skills and knowledge I learned at Hyde Park College.

I am always proud to tell people about my
education with Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy. The wide range of knowledge and skills that I have gained through my study has allowed me to stand out above others and succeed within the industry, sending me on a fast track of career growth. I look back on my time with Hyde Park College and remember the dedication that was required to attain my diploma, but also as a place where
I met some of my best friends and learned more than what it is to be a great beauty therapist.
Hyde Park College has provided me with so much reward and I am so grateful for my time spent there. I am now the Manager of SILK Laser Clinics at Burnside.

I am currently studying at Hyde Park College, finishing my first semester studies and I can say the in-depth knowledge and experience I have gained in the last five months is unbelievably incredible! From not just learning the fundamentals of skin and treatments but also deep diving into how the body functions and understanding why and how to take that into consideration in our treatments. This is all Thankyou to the principal Dianne and lecturer Denise! They both have really opened my mind to the world of beauty and skin and have encouraged me to perform my very best each day! If you are thinking about studying anything beauty or skin, I fully recommend Hyde Park Collage!
Again Thank you so very much Dianne and Denise!

“I studied at Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy in 2016, to achieve both my national and international diplomas. Choosing to study at this college was the best decision I could have made to kick-start my career in the beauty therapy industry.
I was honoured with the best top-quality education, and opportunity to grow not only my knowledge and skills, but also myself as a person.
Dianne is an incredible teacher and mentor with over 33 years’ experience. Because of this, I was granted a position in the industry at Janesce instantly after my study. I could not recommend Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy more highly. I now work at Temple Day SPA and love every minute I am there”

“As a mature aged student, l was looking for a career change in Beauty Therapy.
I chose Hyde Park College in SA to undertake a Diploma in CIDESCO and CIBTAC, because it offered a professional approach to a well-modelled education with recognition across Australia and overseas. It also meant completing this in twelve months.
As Hyde Park College is well regarded by employers in the industry, l was able to secure employment at Silk Laser clinic before completing the Diploma. I would highly recommend Hyde Park College to anyone looking for a career in this ever-growing industry. I know own my own successful business”

I’m a graduate of Hyde Park College and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have joined the college!!!!.
The level of information and experience has been beyond in-depth and impeccable!
Dianne the Principal and Denise the tutor have provided me and all the students with a world of knowledge, support and life experience. My time at the college helped to set me up with the outstanding level of knowledge, professionalism, respect and confidence needed to succeed in the world of beauty!
For anyone looking at getting involved in the beauty industry I highly recommend getting in touch and studying in such an intimate learning environment with great hands-on experience. The opportunities that have been provided and the understanding of such in depth and important information is honestly unmatched!
I’m so very happy and proud to say I’m a part of the Hyde Park College family 🙂 I’ve never felt more empowered and confident. I have made friends for life and my time spent has been so valuable!!!!

“I was a student at Hyde Park Beauty college with Dianne Miles in 2013 studying for the National and international Diplomas. I found Dianne’s teaching and knowledge of the beauty industry to be an invaluable asset in my education and future career.
It was a great environment to learn and study at and a great platform to launch my career.
I have been working at Endota Spa since finishing the course and I continue to love the beauty industry. I was awarded Endota West lakes SPA Therapist of the year for 2017.
I highly recommend to any person looking for a career in the beauty industry to do their studies at Hyde Park Beauty College with Dianne Miles.”

“Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy gave me opportunities to work along side specialist Beauty Therapist lecturers and College trainers, giving me plenty of exposure to work at the salon. It was an experience to remember with lots of theory and knowledge which I use everyday in the salon. I was thrilled with my high International Beauty Therapy marks and this confirmed to me all that study I did paid off. I am now employed at Janesce in Adelaide.”

I studied at Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy in 2006. It was a pleasant environment to learn in. The tutors were so very helpful anytime of the day (even through their lunch breaks!) What I really loved was not just performing the treatments but also receiving them, which I believe you can also learn a lot from. The theory aspect was very sound and as I have learnt from the Industry working with clients every day, the more you know the more clients you will have!
The Employers I have worked for since graduating (Endota, Janesce, Hair Free Laser) have all mentioned they employed me because I hold a CIDESCO Diploma, which makes me now so grateful for choosing Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy

I am thoroughly convinced of the value of my International studies with Hyde Park College of Skin and Body Therapy, with the opportunity to step into the Beauty Therapy world, and fully understand the science of skin and body health. I know now that I have a greater knowledge of the implications of genetic and intrinsic factors for the skin as a direct result of the Human Biology unit. It has also given me an advantage over my colleagues and confidence in giving beauty Therapy treatments. The commitment of the teachers to the students is outstanding and the full support throughout the course. My Employer immediately recognised my qualifications to the practice. Consequently, I gained the job I’d always dreamed about at a salon in Murray Bridge. With the qualifications gained at Hyde Park College has allowed me to further my career path by studies in Dermal Therapies at AACDS in Perth. I now own my own successful salon in Murray Bridge.

Grateful that I got to attend this college. Amazing teachers, theory and practical lessons. Would definitely recommend as the best place in Adelaide to get your diploma.

I emigrated from the UK in December 2008 leaving behind a 15 year career in accounting to start studying at Hyde Park College for the prestigious CIDESCO qualification. I visited college the year prior to commencing my training and was immediately impressed with the facilities and the friendly atmosphere I encountered. I was nervous starting my studies as I hadn’t taken on any further education since I was at school, all those years ago! but was made feel welcome and put at ease from day one. The training I received was excellent; tutors were knowledgeable and
always wanted to give extra time to go through things in more detail if needed. The support and encouragement around exam times was also invaluable, and I really think that helped me pass all of my International and Hyde Park College examinations. Before leaving college,
I was offered a number of positions as the Hyde Park College name precedes itself, and the training they offer. I eventually
took at job at Endota Day Spa, and started work part time before exams were finished. Once exams were completed I ended up with a full-time position. I love my
job; it is hard work, but so rewarding and satisfying. I have finally found my passion and vocation, and want to continue working and learning in the beauty industry.
