Having completed my level 2 and 3 facials here I have to say the teaching is very well guided and explained properly. The teachers here have a great energy and want all of the pupils to succeed, and I have to give a big shout out to Pembe, who ran our level 3 class and was extremely experienced and friendly but also highly professional. An asset to the school!
