“My experience with the CTC was great from start to finish. During my time in the CTC I was in hairdressing where I also completed cultural studies. All of the staff were very welcoming and understanding, and the hairdressing course was very good I learnt a lot by doing it. After completing my course I started the link work programme in a local hair salon and then to ETB Level 5 hairdressing course where I am presently training”.
