Student Testimonials

  • “I did a one day spray tan course in Beautorium and I found It really interesting and enjoyable. I thought I knew everything about spray tan but I was proven wrong when our mentor went in deep in stuff you wouldn’t even think about. She really was unbelievable. She helped and showed us where we went wrong and where we can improve. It helped a lot to get a perfect tan when spraying my model. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be back for more courses in the future.”

  • “I had Joanne as my tutor for CIDESCO, ITEC and CIBTAC. Joanne based her teaching style on giving us the skills for exam standard as well as the realistic work environment. For me, college was where I learned not only the skillset and knowledge but also a high level of professionalism. This was all based on the attitude and high standards Joanne portrayed through completing her role as our tutor. Joanne was approachable, organised and highly intuitive. To this day I feel I can ask her about any aspect of the beauty industry. I would highly recommend Joanne."
