ella bache – nsw member profile

Since its start in 1963, the Ella Bache name has been synonymous with beauty therapy, skin care products and training.

There are now over 190 salons throughout Australia many of which employ graduates from the college. As part of the Beauty Therapy Certificate III, IV and diploma program, students are required to undertake work experience after each practical intensive within the Stellar Learning Program.
 

Jennifer Taylor, Principal of the College, is proud of their commitment to quality education. In July 2007 the college launched the Ella Bache Stellar Learning Program for distance learner’s which today boasts over 140 students Australia wide. She believes the fit of having Ella Bache salons around Australia, many of which are able to provide valuable work experience for Sydney, regional and interstate students gives their graduates the edge in getting jobs in the industry. The combination of practical experience through salon placement forms close ties with potential employer’s, and together with an excellent reputation means employers know that the Ella Bache graduates are second to none. With a 98% employment rate, this gives their students a big advantage.
 

Cathy Blackley, General Manager, says “The Ella Bache brand is an invaluable asset for our graduates. This helps us to stand out in the marketplace as a benchmark college. Growth is not our focus, rather we aim for quality outcomes and employability. We are particularly pleased with the recent success of our Stellar students in the regional and remote areas who have gone on to either gain salon employment or set up their own business.”
