About IABA

Experience that gives students confidence.

More than two decades of beauty education, now continuing as the International Academy of Beauty & Aesthetics.

Our story

A new identity. The same commitment to quality.

International Academy of Beauty & Aesthetics (previously known as 'International School of Beauty Therapy') is the place to visit if you want to start a career in beauty and body therapy. Our CIBTAC and CIDESCO accredited school has been operating creating success stories for over 2 decades. Our students come to us to become fully qualified and eventually get employed by top beauty salons and spa centers across Malta and Gozo. Additionally, some of our students have successfully ventured abroad and found great job opportunities with spa centers overseas. Furthermore, a number of our students have also successfully set up their own beauty businesses. Students are trained in highly equipped premises both for the theoretical and practical sessions of the courses. All tutors who run the programs are internationally qualified, and personal attention is given to each individual student. Every course is designed to connect essential theory with the practical skills, communication and professional standards expected in salons, spas and advanced treatment settings.
