The following pathway charts show the pathways into and from qualifications that are possible within SHB Hairdressing and Beauty Services Training Package. Individuals can exit each qualification to work in industry at a different level of technical expertise and responsibility. It is not, however, intended to indicate that an individual will gain immediate employment at that level.

Individuals can also complete a qualification designed for one industry sector or job function and complete secondary qualifications for others, e.g. complete a make-up qualification followed by a nail technology qualification, or a hairdressing qualification followed by a beauty qualification. Many skills are transferrable with the ability to gain credit for common units of competency.

Articulation arrangements from Diplomas to higher education qualifications can be made on an individual basis by RTOs, e.g. from a Diploma of Beauty Therapy to dermal therapies.
