The hairdressing salon at Bracknell and Wokingham College

Annesha Sengupta is an adult learner from Wokingham who previously studied Beauty Therapy at both Level 2 and Level 3 at Bracknell and Wokingham College.

She said: “I found that the teachers on the Beauty Therapy Level 2 and Level 3 courses were very thorough as when I did it, Nikki did one part and Hilary did the second part, so for one subject you got two tutors.

“I really enjoyed learning new things including how to do a facial and massage. The courses are very in depth and everything they teach is quite hands on, so if you really want to learn I think it’s better to be there and learn from the best!

“The classes were very engaging and all the materials they provided were really good to go through. The teachers were always there if you needed anything.

“All the staff are brilliant at supporting adult learners to study around their commitments. The tutors are really helpful. They’re the best!

Annesha is now studying her Hairdressing Level 2 Certificate at Reading College and University Centre with the aim of opening her own Hair and Beauty business in the future.

Come along and discover how we can help you turn your passion into a career. We look forward to meeting you!
