Sophie Linter and Katie Bird, two HSDC Level 3 Theatrical and Media Makeup students, have been selected to go through this autumn to the Commercial Makeup National Qualifiers as part of the WorldSkills UK competition.
The WorldSkills Competition takes place every other year in one of the 60 member countries. If all goes to plan, the next event will be held in Shanghai in September 2021. Read more about their amazing achievement here.
My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.
