“The students are assessed on their creations and are graded as part of their course work.

“The hair and media make-up course is a fantastic way for students to express their creativity and be unique in their designs and make-up styles.

"All their work is presented in a portfolio and they will receive professional photos to enhance their work which will go towards further education, universities and employment.

"Each year I am blown away by the students’ creativity, there are just no limits to some of the talented students we have at college.”
