Studied – Level 2 Beauty Therapy

Currently – Senior Apprentice at The Secret Spa

“My current role is senior apprentice as I’m now level 2 qualified and have already begun my level 3 course.

“My current role is building up my client base within the salon, and learning my level 4 skills on the job.

“I enjoyed everything about studying with cambria this year, but the highlight of the year was competing in welsh skills and winning gold for the college in the beauty therapist category.

The course I studied has helped hugely with understanding beauty as a whole and has prepared me with all the knowledge I need.”
