LEARNING AND TEACHING
The make-up artistry and hairdressing tutors teach and deliver to encourage personal input
and creative ideas from the students.
Theory presentations are student focused and practical demonstrations are made fun and
enjoyable.
You are required to perform tasks repeatedly so dedication and enthusiasm is a must.

courses.

(failure to do this correctly may be regarded as plagiarism)
