TESTIMONIALS

“What a superb college! I studied here for 2 years straight from high school and they were the best 2 years of

learning I have ever had! They say if you like what your studying it helps which of course is true, but this college goes

the extra mile providing well organised tuition from amazing tutors to the highest standard for every student willing

to put the work back in. Thanks for the memories YCB and keep up the good work”

Sarah Smith

“I have an apprentice from YCOB, the teaching she receives is second to none! She is capable of carrying out

treatments as soon as she has completed each unit, confidently! I’ve even gone back to the college myself to complete

the massage therapies course.”

Nicci Macaulay

“I graduated from Yorkshire college of beauty last week and my experience has been amazing. Throughout my level

2&3 my tutor Mrs Dobson supported me 100% with everything. I was taught theory and practical to the highest

standard and was always happy with how everything was delivered and because of this I have a very good job in a

spa. For this industry I don't think you'd find a better college with a better set of people running it because without

their help I wouldn't be we're I am today. The two years I spent at college has been amazing. Would highly

recommend the college”

Mia Coulson

“I studied at the college for 2 years, the tutors taught to the highest possible standards, from studying at the college

it enabled me to work for some of the best cosmetic companies and I have gone on to achieve a degree in business

management that I hope to use within the beauty industry. I left school with little confidence but the college tutors

inspired me to believe more and always push for higher results. It was a great privilege to be a student and I will

always recommend the college, as they have greatly Impacted my future”
