Where are They Now

At Isis Beauty Academy we like to follow the progress of our students as they start their new career.

Patricia Dopemu VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Specialist Techniques

I worked as an administrator for many years but went back to University, I graduated with a Law degree as a matured student and I got a job with the Home Office. I enjoyed the work because I love people and the job gave me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. However, it did not give me the opportunity to give people that personal touch on a one to one basis. I have always loved the Beauty Industry, passionate beauty therapy as I usually have lots of beauty treatments myself. However, I sometimes find it difficult to get appointments for treatments, especially at the weekends. Also, I am experienced in Afro/Caribbean Hairdressing and managed a family-owned salon in London few years ago and I had a lot of satisfaction from it.

A combination of these things led me to start thinking of having my own beauty place, a haven where people can come to be pampered, unwind and relax. I started to look at how I can get a beauty qualification. I was a bit reluctant at first because studying for an NVQ qualification meant I would be studying with teenagers in the classroom. However, I found Isis Academy and discovered that the college catered for matured people looking for career change and offered flexible study times to fit around work and family.

I called the Academy and spoke to Carolyne, she was wonderful and everything was sorted out for me promptly and efficiently and I secured a place on the VCTC level 2 Diploma in Beauty Specialist Techniques Course in January 2010. I qualified and in August the year I set up Blossoms Hair and Beauty. I feel so fulfilled and I am in the process of booking a few Level 3 courses at Isis to add to my portfolio. I’m ever so grateful to Isis Academy and mostly to Carolyne for being instrumental to fulfilling a dream.

"My Journey into beauty began in January this year. I met with Carolyne on the 3rd January. She was very welcoming and friendly. I explained that I was interested in working on cruise ships eventually, and was delighted to hear that she had first hand experience in this, as she too worked on the ships at the beginning of her career.
I fell in love with the course and the industry straight away. There were only eight in our class, this small number allowed us to bond quickly and create a comfortable, relaxed learning environment. With each week our confidence grew. A few weeks into the course Carolyne informed me that there was a Level 3 course starting and it was possible for me to study Level 2 and Level 3 simultaneously. The decision did not take me long to make. Before long I was fast tracking myself onto the cruise ships!
Last month I began working at The Beauty Lounge, Byfleet "

I will be applying for the cruise ships when I have completed my Level 3

Lisa Smyth (VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Swedish Massage, VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Aromatherapy, VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Stone Therapy, VTCT Level 3 in Reflexology, Flower Essence, Meridian Massage, Trigger Point)

It has been nearly six months since I moved back to Zimbabwe, so I thought I would let you know how I am getting along. I have found an upmarket shop which sells vitamin supplements and health foods. They rent two adjacent rooms out, and I share the rooms with a variety of Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, and Neuromuscular therapists. What a great environment for someone newly qualified to work in, as I can take my numerous and varied queries to seasoned practitioners.

My Swedish Massage is most in demand, and I work in conjunction with the Osteopath, treating clients before she sees them. This is an intensive way to build up my remedial knowledge on treatment of injuries and skeletal problems. Reflexology and Aromatherapy I find are less well known, and a description of a Hot Stone Massage has raised a few eyebrows, but word is spreading. I have been approached by a variety of businesses looking to do ‘package deals’, and thank goodness for the skills that the Business Course taught me, I have avoided a few hard lessons.

Not a day goes by that I don’t look back at my clients and thank the heavens for the commonsense approach you taught all of us at Isis, as I have had a few ‘real life’ experiences with all different sorts of people. I have also managed to maintain my poise through the challenges of working in a Third World country – no electricity for weeks on end, no water, no telephones. My college learning has stood me in great stead, as I calmly make another plan, whether its kindling a fire to heat my hot stones, or taking my massage couch into the garden to counter the lack of lighting inside.

I also volunteer my services at our town’s Cancer Centre – a humbling experience as I work with a class of people who would never have been able to afford a treatment on their own. Consumables are very very limited as they rely on nearly non-existent donations – our aromatherapy kit consists of two sticky bottle of lavender oil. I work closely with the doctors and counsellors, learning about cancer treatments and how I can complement their radiation, chemotherapy or surgical procedures.

All in all although I have had to work very hard and have been frustrated and irritated, I am so glad I threw in my corporate job and took up what I truly feel is my life’s calling. I end my days tired and satisfied that I have done some good to someone. We have just found out we are pregnant, and to be able to adjust my schedule to suit my energy levels and abilities has been invaluable.

Thank you Carolyne, for a solid grounding that ensured I would succeed at earning my living from Holistic Therapies.
