ABOUT AACDS

AACDS is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) established in 2004 to deliver nationally accredited qualifications in cosmetic nursing and dermal therapies.

Our Advanced and Graduate Diploma courses are designed to train students on the latest cosmetic and dermal therapies available in the industry, each delivered using a blended model of online and practical modules.

Practical modules are delivered in real-world clinical environments where students work with qualified cosmetic medical professionals and dermal therapists under our industry standard-setting policy of a two-to-one student-trainer ratio.
