This international exposure is crucial in the beauty industry, where trends and techniques often vary across.The impact of this program on the students is profound. Many with not only enhanced technical skills but also a renewed sense of confidence and a broader worldview. The experience of living and working in a different country pushes them out of their comfort zones, encouraging personal growth, independence, and adaptability.

Together, they offer specialized Hair and Beauty qualifications to 16-18-year-olds, providing young individuals with the tools they need to embark on successful careers in the beauty industry.

TRAINER

At Sitting Prettie Academy, practical, hands-on experience is at the core of the learning process. To ensure that students gain the highest level of proficiency in hair, beauty, and nail care, the academy employs a team of expert assessors who play a crucial role in the educational journey. These assessors, experienced professionals in their respective fields, initially demonstrate practical treatments for the students, setting the foundation for their skill development

The practical demonstrations are highly interactive, encouraging students to engage with the process actively. Assessors often pause to explain specific steps, highlight key points, and offer insights based on their own professional experiences. This interactive approach not only helps students understand the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each treatment, fostering critical thinking and a deeper comprehension of the material.
