"Completing the Certificate II in Salon assistant course assisted me to be more advanced when I actually started my Hairdressing apprenticeship in "Enter Hair" Wonthaggi. This set me up to doing what I love doing, "more colour and cutting practice". I'm really happy that completing the course put me into the trade I so wanted.
