Hi geeks,
I have a client who is interested in doing a beauty course. She is from Northern Ireland but lives in Newcastle as she is at uni there. She is finishing her degree but really hates the subject and doesn't want to take it any further.
She was looking into doing the BTEC National Diploma in Beauty Therapy Sciences at either Newcastle College or Gateshead College. The inky thing, she has been told that the course fees are going to be in and around £5000 per year!!! I couldn't believe this when she told me! Is this normal? I started my course when I was 20 and this girl is only 21. I didn't have to pay anything for mine and I did the BTEC. Is it an English education system thing? Cos i don't think you have to pay for those courses here in Northern Ireland. I could be totally wrong, but I would like some advice so I can help her out. Is the NVQ the same kind of fees??
Many thanks guys.
