Level 2 Beauty Therapist Apprentice
I recently completed my Level 2 Beauty Therapist Apprenticeship with Direct Skills Group at their Gosforth Academy. I learnt so much from my tutor Caroline and being able to use these new skills and knowledge in my day job at City Retreat in Jesmond allowed me to become more confident in offering a wide suite of treatments to our customers. The whole team at DSG have been so supportive for me, helping me find my placement as well as giving me the best teaching and training I could have wished for. I am now about to start my Level 3 Apprenticeship, and I am excited for what my future in the beauty industry will bring me. I would thoroughly recommend Direct Skills Group to anyone thinking of becoming a Beauty Therapist.
