"The Carlton Institute's Makeup course was brilliant, I enjoyed every minute and learnt a lot about the make up trade as well as the best way to use certain products. I chose the course because not only did we receive a diploma after attending the day course, but also we were given the opportunity to study to NVQ level. Our tutor Joy was fabulous, she was extremely knowledgeable in the trade. Joy made us all feel comfortable and at ease and she was an absolute pleasure to learn from" Claudia De Castro - 4th May 2010.
