City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 Diploma Hairdressing
“In just one year, the course has taught me how to cut, colour and style hair to a high level and gave me the confidence to work in a salon with clients. The lecturers are very supportive and my experience at the college has been incredible. I won the regional WorldSkills UK Hairdressing competition and will now be representing the college at the national finals at the Birmingham NEC in November.”
