I chose to do the yearly course because I had saved up beforehand and I was really eager to make a career for myself as soon as possible,” says Sarah.
“In the course you aren’t just studying how to use a make up brush like most people might think – you’re learning all about the body, the anatomy and physiology of the skin and muscles, so it was challenging but very interesting in Pembroke College.
“Some might think it’s similar to the Leaving where you’re fitting everything into one year, but I found the experience of studying at third level completely different. You’re choosing to learn the subject this time around so you have a much more enjoyable experience .
“We get a mixture of tourists and locals coming into the spa. I enjoy being able to catch up with my regulars on one hand and then hearing fantastic stories about people from all over the world on the other.
