In addition to this, each term, two high-performing Level 3 beauty students will be rewarded with a five-day Biotec training session, significantly enhancing their CV and future employability prospects.

Samantha Rabone, Elemis Area Manager, said: “Elemis have worked with Urban Serenity for some time now and our relationship is developing further… It is a pleasure to support the college and work with professionals that are dedicated to providing phenomenal results to their clients.”

Mike Hopkins, Principal of South & City College, added: “As a college we pride ourselves on the level of skill our students gain when they study with us. Having a state-of-the-art facility like this, which provides genuine private sector work and experience is fantastic for us.”
