Success Stories

“Hairdressing wasn’t something I wanted to do from the beginning. I started working for Scots Hair Design on Saturdays and decided I really enjoyed it. This then gave me the opportunity to start an apprenticeship with them, so I could progress in my career and gain a qualification at the same time. I would really recommend this course to other students. You have to be ready to work hard, stand for long periods at a time and work long hours, but the end result is worth it. I am looking forward to progressing to the Level 3, my future aspirations would be to do session work at shows at events such as London Fashion Week.”

“I recommend the HNC/HND Arts Practice course to other students as it is very independent, and you are treated like an adult. Grantham College has helped me understand what I have to do to get the grades I want and have helped me with my dyslexia. You can work at your own pace, choose the direction and outcome you want. The course is very diverse, and you get a lot of group opinions and ideas.”
