Testimonial from past student and parent...

Siobhan McEvoy
I originally chose Portlaoise College of Beauty and Complementary Therapies because of the location. What I actually got was a lot more than that. The tutors at the college are outstanding, with all the knowledge, care and attention that you could ever need. The support I received throughout the year was amazing. The course structure and content was extensive, with the option of furthering my education or amending it at any time. The principal Sharon Leavy was a phenomenal mentor along with the tutors. From day 1 my goal was to achieve my personal best by giving 100% effort in attendance, assignments and desire to learn. The fellow students I have met along the way have become lifelong friends. To add to all of that I now leave with a qualification ready to start my new life as a Beauty Therapist with endless opportunities, I feel the world is my oyster, which is all thanks to Sharon Leavy.

Just want to say thank you to Sharon and all the tutors at Portlaoise College of Beauty and Complementary Therapies. The teachers were amazing and so helpful. My daughter has developed both personally and intellectually. She is now starting work experience where she will put into practice all that she has accomplished throughout the year. I would highly recommend students to train there.
Thanks again to Sharon and her team.
