Ciara has recently completed the first year of her NVQ Level 2 Hairdressing course at the Downpatrick Campus of the College. She currently works for the Attic Hair Studio in Downpatrick. 

“I always knew I wanted a career in Hairdressing, when I completed my GCSE’s I signed up to the NVQ Level 2 Hairdressing course at the College. My brother is also a student here and told me it’s a great place to study.

The staff are very friendly, my course tutor, Yvonne Flynn, has been really helpful and supportive during my first year.  I’m looking forward to September when we will be using the new hairdressing facilities in the Downpatrick campus, it promises to be a great learning environment.

My ambition is to become a fully qualified Hairdresser and maybe go to New York to work on Fashion Show’s.”
