Beauty More than Skin Deep for Ruta

Ruta Andriulionyte (46) from Castlewellan first came to SERC when she signed up to an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) course before progressing to the Level 2 in Beauty Therapy.    

Having worked in hospitality for the past 15 years, Ruta, originally from Latvia, wanted to get back to her first passion, skincare. She says, “When I lived in Latvia, I worked in a pharmacy and was involved in all aspects of skincare, haircare, and supplements. I had completed a lot of training on skincare so when I looked at the beauty therapy course, it seemed like an extension to what I had completed in the past and was something that I was interested in learning about.”  

Ruta added, “It’s been great coming back to learn and I didn’t mind being a mature student.   It’s never too late to learn something new. It is a great course for anyone interested in learning about all round beauty therapy. I have most enjoyed doing the treatments and the practical aspects of the course. The facilities are great.” 

“The lecturers have given me great moral support to finish the course and I do hope to come back and progress to the Level 3, as I would like to work in the industry.”
