“The transition from school to college was an easy one; group activities meant that we were able to form real bonds from day one. Having started on the Level 1 Beauty course meant I started with the real basics and could build up my confidence with clients, I am now finishing my level 3 and feel I am ready to move into the industry”.
“Over the years I have learnt a variety of treatments from facials to full body massages. We get to build up our own client base, and work within a real salon environment. Working in this type of environment and with tutors who have been really supportive, passing on their own trade experiences and knowledge has been extremely helpful”.
