ITEC is perfect for working in Ireland, start with that and then do 2 day courses with CND etc to specialize in different areas. Try and get work experience asap, HTH

Could you call some of these jobs and ask their opinion? Say your very keen on a career in Beauty and have seen this course and wondered if it will be accepted as a suitable qualification to start your career with, you can then take names and numbers try to keep in touch which would be a great way to gain contacts in the industry and possibly work experience etc.

You can also try this with local salons - flatter them call and ask to speak to the manager/owner and say you'd love to work in a salon such as yours one day and wanted the salon owners/managers valuable opinion if this course is suitable to start your career with etc you can then start networking with them etc

hope that makes sense!
