SKILLS TRAINING | INCLUSIVE LEARNING

Since studying the Diploma of Beauty Therapy herself in 1995, Jaimie Adamson has had a very rewarding career in the beauty industry. After graduating, Jaimie worked for 4 years as a beauty therapist, gaining vast experience and knowledge that gave her the confidence to work in London for 3 years. It was in London she was given the opportunity to manage a successful salon in 2 locations, Kensington and Marylebone. When returning to Australia, Jaimie moved to Perth and worked in a day spa for 3 years. Whilst living in Perth, her passion for training came to fruition and Jaimie completed her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

“Atwea is an organisation that encourages learning in a safe, supported and connected way.”

With this, she taught her first Diploma of Beauty Therapy course. She was inspired to teach after attending some trade industry workshops and having gained more experience through her travels, really wanted to pass her knowledge onto others. In 2005 she moved to Newcastle and combined training and working as a therapist to further develop her skills and gain more experience. Jaimie loves anything to do with the skin and enjoys result driven treatments and educating students about skincare technology and ingredients.

At Atwea College, Jaimie now teaches the nationally accredited Diploma of Beauty Therapy. This involves teaching hands-on skills to learners like massage techniques, skin analysis and providing knowledge about how the skin and body function in order to successfully apply treatments in a professional manner. The Diploma of Beauty Therapy teaches knowledge and skills around lash and brow services, facial treatments and skincare recommendations, waxing services, design and application of make-up, manicure and pedicure services, customer service, applying safe hygiene and health and work practices.

Jamie instills confidence in her students so that they can be job ready and fulfill a rewarding career within the beauty industry. Jaimie chose to teach at Atwea College as she believes we encourage learning in a safe, supported and connected way that promotes student wellbeing and creates inclusive learning opportunities for everyone. She feels completely supported at Atwea and her experience has been very positive.
