Recognised Prior Learning - Become a Nationally Accredited Lash Artist
Lash'd Eyelashes in conjunction with our sister brand International Lash Masters are proud to announce that we are now offered Nationally Accredited Lash Training and Recognised Prior Learning. We have aligned with a Registered Training Organisation to provide accreditation to existing and new lash artists across Australia. Yes this means accredited!
What does this mean?
This means that your lash training in the chosen unit will be assessed and certified in line with standards provided by ASQA and our RTO. Upon completion of training or on receipt of your RPL submission, you will receive a Statement of Attainment which is nationally recognised in Australia's vocational Education System. Our courses and RPL are not simply private training courses, you will be provided with a recognised certification.
