Beauty education spans a wide curriculum — skincare, lash, brow, makeup, advanced aesthetics — with different skill levels, class sizes, and student pathways. BOBSTA organises all of it from a single platform.
Students range from complete beginners to experienced therapists upskilling through a qualification pathway. Courses split across morning and afternoon sessions. Class sizes are small, demand is high, and the same students return term after term. Managing that with a generic event booking tool means constant workarounds.
BOBSTA was designed for the way beauty education actually works: skill level filtering so students find the right course, session-based pricing for AM/PM courses, enquiry-only listings for upcoming advanced programmes, and a complete booking history per student that builds naturally into a qualification record.
Students filter the catalogue by section, skill level, and course type — so a beginner finds Foundation courses and a qualified therapist finds Advanced ones, without confusion.
AM, PM, and Full Day sessions with individual pricing, capacity, and start times. Students choose their slot; availability shows in real time.
List upcoming advanced courses or new programmes as enquiry-only — capturing interested students before you commit to a date, so you know exactly when to schedule.
Membership tier pricing rewards students who enrol in multiple courses. Gold and Platinum students get discounted rates applied automatically at checkout.
Small-capacity beauty courses fill quickly. BOBSTA captures demand automatically and promotes the next student the moment a place opens.
Survey invitations sent automatically the evening after every course. Visual rating charts, star averages, and verbatim responses — exportable to Excel.
Built after 20+ years working alongside training businesses. Every feature in BOBSTA exists because a training business owner asked for it. Every workflow was refined until it felt right — not designed in a vacuum by people who've never run a course.
Yes. Students can filter by section (e.g. Skincare, Lashes, Makeup), skill level (Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced), course type, and location — all from the same catalogue page.
In Independent session mode, each session (AM, PM, Full Day) has its own price, capacity, and availability. Students choose their slot at checkout. Sold-out sessions are greyed out automatically; low-stock sessions show a warning.
Yes. The student self-service portal shows all past and upcoming bookings, loyalty points balance, and course details including kit lists — without contacting your team.
Any course can be set to Enquiry Only — it appears in the catalogue without a Book Now option, and interested students submit an expression of interest. This lets you gauge demand before scheduling a date.
Yes. A course reminder job sends personalised email and SMS reminders to every delegate at your configured lead time before each course — automatically, for every date, without manual action.
