Reviews

If you’re considering enrolling here, please read my experience first! I was recently accepted to start the Level 3 Nails program. I got approval on October 25th, even though the intake had started a week earlier. Almost immediately, things started to unravel. Before attending my first class, I was told the October 28th class was canceled and was assured they’d update me with a new schedule soon. That alone felt unsettling, as it seemed like I’d be joining something disorganized right from the start.What really raised red flags was the complete lack of communication following this. The previously responsive customer associate went silent. Calls went unanswered, emails unreturned, and no one seemed available to provide any clarity. My concerns led me to reach out again, and finally, another associate replied, saying that classes were now canceled indefinitely, and they’d only have an update by November 15th.This is not the level of professionalism or organization I expected, especially for a program costing over £3000. After multiple unreturned attempts to reach anyone, I finally sent a direct and firm email, copying everyone from the academy who had been in touch, including management. As I type this, I just received a response—yet again too late.“Dear H - Apologies for the delayed response. I've been out for the last 2 days.We will request a refund of your deposit.Also, please be informed that we will cancel your application with CPBA.Thank you.”Think carefully before investing in this academy.

I came across this training academy by accident and glad I did, I’ve completed the lash and hybrid course and have signed up from brow combo course. The enrolment is quick and easy and the course goes into a lot of theory as well as practical which is really good , I had Maisie as my tutor and she was amazing, nothing was too much trouble for her and she took her time to make sure we understood everything and gave really good feedback during the 4 weeks. I honestly can’t wait to start the next one. 10/10 would recommend

I was absolutely delighted that I was one of the lucky ones chosen to do this course.I thoroughly enjoyed it and what made it so worth it was our tutor, who was so professional, kind and patient.Thank you so much Maisie.If I may add something which might help other candidates.If there could be quite a precise list on what we need for the course.Some of us still were not sure of what to order and we had already started. Not knowing the different names of lashes is confusing in the beginning.Thank you.

I’m only giving 1* because I finished my course In August and still I haven’t received any diploma which means I can’t find work 🙄There is more than 6 months and nobody seems to care to provide me with my diploma. I spent every week 2 hours traveling to get to the course and learn plus to get the qualifications,but still here I am with no job in the industry because they are requesting my qualifications which I can’t provide
Excellent hairdressing course! My tutor offered me all the support I needed. Friendly staff.

Rubbish!! I attended the college at Leyton. It was a government funded course and we were meant to receive a bursary to help pay for our travel etc, as I was travelling by train for 1 and a half hours to get there. In total I spent up to £16 a day to get there. They lied to us about the bursary saying that they didn’t do it. After contacting student finance, I found out they did in fact do bursary payments but once confronted they claimed that it was too late to apply. They were extremely rude and didn’t even try to help. They made us pay £160 for equipment that would’ve been a total of £50 on Amazon. The products were NOT GOOD AT ALL. CHEAP PRODUCTS!!! The communication and help they provided was terrible. When help was needed, I was ignored for about two weeks before I got a response.This is not worth it at allAVOID THIS PLACE, ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEIR MONEY.In response to the owners reply, your colleagues have given false information because that is what we were told after finding out about the bursary. I have no intentions of travelling that far, I just wanted to give my honest review.

Just completed gel nail course which was held online due to covid. It was fabulous! So much covered it such a short time without skipping any corners. I feel really lucky to have seen this advertised on Facebook and accepted from application.The course required quick English and maths test along with a small deposit with the promise of a £5 Amazon voucher upon registration. On completion of the course the deposit is refunded.I got the voucher and also having completed the course was also refunded my deposit.The course was held on Zoom so didn't even have to leave the house. I found it very easy to follow and ask questions if needed. All our lessons have been uploaded onto YouTube for our reference after if needed.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Although I found the initial application process quite tricky the actual lessons and treatments learned were fabulous.I would definitely sign up for another. The tutor was lovely and very patient and I am really impressed with how everything was done easy on a screen. Way better than travelling to courses and I hope these become a way of teaching for the future. The group I was in for my classes was quite small (I think 7 or 8) so that was nice as well as smaller classes are easier to follow

I have truly enjoyed this short Barbering course. I have learned so much in such a short time so much more than i was excepting, theory and practical. My tutor Syreeta Parris was amazing, so patient, easy going and so informative. The group were lovely and this course was so easy to follow. I loved the live recordings and any clips were send to you the next day by email. I loved it. The CPBA staff were very quick to respond to any emails and you were always kepted in the loop. Thank you again a skill for life.
