Congratulation to the Class of 2013!

July 14th, 2013

Another year at Kilkenny College of Beauty Therapy came to a successful conclusion when the CIDESCO practical exam finished last Wednesday.

While temperatures outside were rising to near record highs, inside was cool and calm as all of our students sailed to success in their practical exams.

CIDESCO examiner Mme Margaret Toulier from Rouen in France, who has examined our students on two previous occasions, spoke to students afterwards and remarked that the high level of practical skills demonstrated was no more than she had come to expect from this ‘very good college’.

We would like to congratulate all our students, who have been a credit to the college during their year with us and whose hard work has been rewarded with excellent exam results. We wish each and every one equal success in their future careers, but for now they can now at last take a well earned break and enjoy this rare and beautiful sunny summer!

Special congratulations to Robyn White, who was named CIDESCO Student of the Year.

This is a well deserved and popular recognition for an outstanding student and we are sure she will bring equal dedication to whatever she does in the future. Well done Robyn!
