Indian Head Massage

Tina Lightning

What I would highlight: Kim from cottage training centre is very nice, professional, extremely experienced and a very good communicator and teacher, well worth going to! I have done swedish body and indian head so far, and soon to do hopi ear candles, they have all been enjoyable and once I have more customers will have been cost effective! I am using what I have learnt already.

What I would highlight: The course was excellent, only 4 students to very enthusiastic and thorough teaching. The atmosphere was very relaxed and fun, we were all invited to be very open about our opinions. I will definitely use what I have learnt. The course was again definitely value for money, As it was the best place I have ever done any training I am going back to do other courses there. Thanks Kim

Brazilian Waxing

What I would highlight: Not enough information about the intimate area, contra indications, insurance advice, half a day to learn this area is simply not enough, perhaps a visit to your own salon for a review until you are given a pass!

Spray tanning

Nadine Chappell

10/05/2010
What I would highlight: Having already attended two modules of my VTCT L2 course at The Cottage Training Centre, my expectations were that the Airbrush Tanning course would be as qualitative, informative, practically based and enjoyable as my last. I was not disappointed. I came away from the day feeling really positive that I had the tools and information to be successful in this area of the industry. The Trainer, Kim Sexton, packs the day full with the right amount of theory vs practical experience, encourages you to question and makes the day really enjoyable. The Trainer always responds quickly and thoroughly to emails and phone calls, the after-training support is great. Good value for money, I will be using the Cottage Training Centre for other courses also in the future.

What I would highlight: excellent make up to begin to learn how to work with. Jane Iredale products are unique and their mineral products make them extremely easy to work with once you know. Course instruction very useful as well as time to practice. Each product was explained fully. Very good value for money and extremely useful to have the make up products to start you off.

More information

History

I opened the Cottage training centre in 2004 after teaching in further education colleges for many years. I also run a salon. My previous experience enables me to understand the needs of busy people wishing to progress in the field of beauty, massage and holistic therapies. My courses are intensive and fast track but with very small classes this is achievable as you receive almost 1-1 tuition. I am based in Hythe, Southampton in the high street right by the sea so it is a very nice learning environment.

Advantages of studying here

Short, fast track courses. Fully certificated to national industry standards. Full support from enrolment to certification. Loyalty discounts. Opportunity to work in a salon. Small groups providing lots of individual tuition. Friendly and professional environment. Excellent reputation with many years experience in teaching and running a salon. Ideal for salons as assessments and training can be done in the work place. Great way to acheive a full level 2 and 3 diploma in beauty therapy. Flexible timetables, excellent training rates. Anatomy and physiology course can be distance learning."Kim is passionate about what she does and gives no less than 100% to every student. As both a Partner in Prescents and working on the Marketing and PR at the Cottage Training Centre - I have worked with Kim for over four years and cannot fault her in any way. She is focused, compassionate and has a huge wealth of industry knowledge."
