Nottingham College Level 3 Beauty Therapy student, Rubie Robinson-Dudley said:
We all enjoy and value the college partnership with Ragdale Hall spa. I want to go straight into working at a spa just like Ragdale when I finish this course, as it offers the treatments that I want to work in. I’m hoping to apply at Ragdale Hall Spa next year so having this award on my CV will improve my application and hopefully give me the best chance to work there.
I would definitely recommend studying Level 3 beauty at Nottingham College, it has great facilities, the teachers are so supportive and understanding and I feel so looked after here. The college has also given me the opportunity to study maths and English alongside Level 3 beauty which will help me with my future career. The environment at Wheeler Gate feels just like a real salon, so it’s giving me the industry experience I need and I already feel like I’m working.
