WHAT STUDENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS COURSE
"I found the course extremely interesting, the guidance notes led me to search and look for more in depth information, which gave me a much greater understanding on the whole subject of Beauty Therapy. Each area covered within the course and each assignment took me further than I originally thought it would. The feedback from each assignment was also very encouraging and informative, boosting my confidence along the way. I work full time in finance, and have always had a keen interest in beauty therapy. Yes - you have to put in the effort but the results are worth it, this has given me the confidence and determination to progress further in this field."
