Elite School of Beauty and Spa, along with Cut Above Academy, are private vocational training institutions specializing in beauty, spa, and hairdressing education. They operate under UP Education, a private education provider in New Zealand. These academies are not public universities but focus on industry-specific certifications and diplomas.
Their programs are designed for hands-on training, catering to students seeking careers in beauty therapy, hairdressing, and related fields. As private institutions, they charge tuition fees and follow a curriculum aligned with industry standards rather than being government-funded like public universities.
