Student comments about the course:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Coming back to college as a mature student was slightly daunting but the tutor was fantastic. I learnt so much and the course has really helped me to develop a new career."

"All my expectations from the course were met and more. There is a great ratio of practical to theory throughout the course. At the end of the course I went into a salon part-time to start my career and am coming back to study Level 3."
