About Us
Elite International has been in operation since 1998 and with its four campuses in the North Island is the largest private provider of beauty therapy training in New Zealand. As the demand for well-trained beauty therapists has grown in New Zealand, Elite International has met this by building new and refurbishing our premises with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for both beauty and spa therapy training.
We have kept our core values of commitment to excellence in education delivery through small class sizes and high expectations and standards for staff and students alike.
