Hayley Huggins-Imran
Level 2 VTCT Diploma in Beauty Specialist Techniques
I joined the course to build upon my qualification as a salon manager. As a qualified hairdresser, I found it easy dealing with issues regarding hair services but struggled due to my limited knowledge of beauty to effectively manage the beauty team.
On the course, my confidence grew with each passing week and all the areas we covered were relevant to our industry services. The college has also offered extra courses to top up my skills and knowledge further. The one day a week schedule fitted in easily with my work schedule and childcare.
