5 reasons why having your courses AIT Accredited is a must!
If you offer beauty or hair courses, AIT Accreditation is a simple, low cost way for your courses to stand out from the competition, demonstrating that your training is approved and endorsed, and letting your students know that your training has the seal of approval from AIT.
AIT accredit face-to-face and online education, enabling students to gain AIT insurance once they have successfully completed their qualifications with you. If you have your courses accredited by an alternative provider, you can also gain accreditation through AIT to further enhance your educational credentials.
The process is low cost and easy, with a dedicated AIT Accreditation team on hand to guide and support you throughout. There's also plenty of support once accreditation has been achieved, just contact us at
accreditation@aitireland.com.

When your courses become accredited you'll be entering into a relationship with Ireland's largest beauty membership and insurance provider that currently represents 18,000 business owners, therapists, nail technicians, complementary therapy practitioners, hair stylists, barbers and students.

*The above pricing is for the initial application. Once the initial accreditation application has passed, any additional courses added are charged at €50 per course. If you are insured with AIT, there are no renewal or annual fees, however if you are with a different provider there may be a €100 charge per active policy annually to allow for additional administration and checking of insurance documentation. This means after the initial accreditation application we require no further payment from you, unless you have written a new course manual that you wish to get accredited, you wish to convert your courses into digital, or you are insured with a different provider in which case additional costs will apply.
** VIP Upgrades available on a show-by-show basis as negotiated by AIT and the event organiser. Look out for promotions ahead of any trade show to see if you qualify.
