Molly Lightfoot

Hairdressing

“I’ve always wanted to be a hairdresser, its hands on and I get to be creative. After a taster day at Preston’s College I knew I wanted to come here. The training salon ‘Elements’ is just like a real salon and we get to work on real clients.”
Ethan Tibbs

Sport

“I really enjoy the variety of the topics that we’ve covered on the course and how we link theory based work to our own experiences of sport to complete our assignments. The variety of topics really opened my eyes to how wide sports is, it’s been a great course that has prepared me for degree level study.”
