The College has an outstanding reputation for expertise in Beauty Therapy. The tutors have a huge range of experience working in salons across the UK. Each year, students progress directly into employment or higher education, studying university courses including Media Make Up, Complimentary Therapy and Make-Up Artistry and Special Make-Up Effects.
