"I graduated Demi International with my diploma of beauty therapy in April this year. I have been working in a salon ever since and am loving my career so far. Going to Demi International was the best decision I could have made for my education. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and there was also lots of hands-on experience. They taught me everything I needed to know to prepare me for the real world. Ann the principal gave me endless opportunities and helped set me up for a career in a highly sought after salon where I am furthering my education and look forward to continue developing my skills. There is no better choice for quality education and a friendly atmosphere than Demi International."Ana TurveyDiploma of Beauty Therapy Graduate
