Could you please tell us what you enjoyed most during the course? Maya Shaban: “I liked the way Stephen showed us how to take care of our hair and how to do different styles.”

What was your favourite part of the course?
How did the training influence you as an individual? Hayley Kay Huckvale: “It was knowing that other people can do it gave me confidence that I am capable of doing it too.”
What is the most important thing that you learned on the course? Nadine Al Hawaj: “Respecting others but most importantly to respect myself.”
What was your favourite topic of the course and why? Tara McCarthy: “When we were taught how to walk properly in heels. Watching everyone else try do it for the first time as well was so much fun and we all learnt how to carry on and do it eventually.” What was the main lesson that you learned during the course? Hannah Bricklebank: “Having self-confidence helps you in future challenges in life.”
