Jennifer Whyte NC Hairdressing Level 6

This course has given me skills which are essential for progression in the industry. My confidence has grown as a result of the course and I have taken my first steps in to the industry by renting a chair in a busy and popular salon. I am now ready for the nest challenge of SVQ3 and looking forward to it.
