    "I studied my BTEC at Newcastle College when I was 16 and I loved it, so every time I’ve wanted to delve deeper into any specific area of beauty therapy, or even when I wanted to do a teaching course so that I could teach beauty myself, Newcastle College has been my go-to for courses."

    Level 3 Make Up Artistry

    "I was really quite shy when I started at Newcastle College, but thanks to my time here I’ve definitely come out of my shell a lot! I can especially feel the benefits on my placement when I’m working in the salon. I’ve become so capable with the support from my tutors and friends."

    "I was like 'I'm fifty can I really do a foundation degree?' And here I am two years later, smashing it and next year I'm doing a bachelors degree. Honestly, it's not just a degree I'm getting. It's the people I've met, it's the guest speakers and it's the workshops. It's been loads of fun. We all love it and the tutors are fab and really supportive."
