Which Creative Academy / ies have you trained with?

[Gelly]

This really interests me. I have been thinking about it for a while, so here is the thread!
Which academy did you train with? Who was your teacher?

It doesn't always go to say that you trained at your nearest...... My local is Acton, but I trained in Milton Keynes.
Also, you may have done your initial training at one and subsequent training at another........

I was going to try to sort out a poll, but if you see the list below!..... There are a few more than I realised!!

If you have trained at more than one, would you indicate what training it was at each? Eg Leeds - Foundation with Shona, Acton - Smile Lines with Keetan..........

Aberdeen
Langside
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Newcastle
Bridlington
Leeds
Manchester
Nottingham
Leicester
Birmingham
Ludlow
Bromsgrove
Coventry
Bridgend
Dublin
Bedfordshire
Essex
Oxford
Milton Keynes
Bristol
London (Acton)
Maidenhead (Burnham)
Kent
Crawley
Salisbury
Plymouth
Devon
Plymouth
Cornwall

Right here's my list:

Pre-Masters - Birmingham, November 2002 - Jane Cook
Spa Manicure & Pedicure - Milton Keynes, October 2003 - Anne Swain
Creative Illusions - Milton Keynes, December 2003 - Anne Swain
Real Rebalancing - Milton Keynes, January 2004 - Anne Swain
Makeover Magic - Milton Keynes, February 2004 - Anne Swain
Certified Master Technician - Milton Keynes, April 2004 - Anne Swain
Brisa Gel, Milton Keynes, May 2004 - Anne Swain
NVQ3 - IONA Milton Keynes, June 2004 - Anne Swain
Fabric# - Milton Keynes, January 2005 - Kelly Swain (1-2-1)

Am not obsessed with Anne Swain, just like her as an educator and she is one of my mentors, she gave me confidence in achieving my goal as a Master Nail Technician.

The reason why I put dates in, is because I have my certificate portfolio in front of me and was easier to post them as well. Also Jane Cook no longer works for Creative, so felt the dates appropriate.
