What a fantastic opportunity for trainee therapists, who show great potential, to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in electrotherapy. The calibre of the therapists who were short listed was exceptional and made me appreciate some of the outstanding training, which is currently taking place in our colleges and salons. The students were a real credit to the beauty industry!

I would encourage all colleges who deliver training in electro-therapy to get involved and give themselves and their trainee therapists the recognition they deserve!

SEBTA was an amazing experience and I feel extremely honoured and proud to be a part of it. It was lovely to meet all the competitors along with their lecturers the night before the competition. In the competition room on the day the atmosphere was so positive and everyone just wanted to do their best, all the competitors were supportive of each other. We were all overwhelmed by the number of important and inspiring individuals within the beauty industry who attended the event and the award ceremony. I feel that this award recognises my dedication and devotion to progressing within the beauty industry and my continuous drive to improving my skills.

What a fantastic experience SEBTA 2011 was. I was thrilled just to be one of the six finalists and take part in the competition. Then to be placed third was a fantastic honour.The competition is so well run, the Carlton Professional team were really friendly and supportive and went out of their way to make sure that all the finalists enjoyed themselves and felt like winners. The standard of the competition was very high and I felt very proud to be involved in such a prestigious occasion. It has made all the hard work, studying, revision and practicing worthwhile.

The whole experience from start to finish was exciting, welcoming and professional. Everyone went out of their way to make us welcome and it was lovely getting to know the other finalists. I would recommend to any therapist to enter, it’s a once in lifetime experience.

I had a great time at the SEBTA final. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The hotel was lovely and we were well looked after throughout the event. Everything was well organised and this ensured that the event went smoothly. I would definitely recommend my college to enter again next year.

Anne-Marie Stewart, Chichester College, Winner SEBTA 2011
The Carlton competition not only celebrates the best electrical student in the country but created a real buzz in the students at Chichester. I have already been approached by a student who is interested for next year. Both Michelle and I felt very spoilt. This was very unexpected and very welcome. It is not often that we get time as lecturers to celebrate the success of our students or our skills in enabling them to achieve high standards. The experience has given both my student and I renewed passion for our industry and the drive to continue with our high standards. Thank you again to all who were involved. It was an excellent experience. I will be hoping to attend again.

Irene Webster, Derby College
We were absolutely thrilled to have been part the SEBTA final and lucky enough to achieve second place. From the moment that we arrived at the hotel the Carlton Professional team did their upmost to ensure that our experience was an enjoyable one. The final was so well organised and nothing seemed too much trouble to any of the staff. We will certainly be entering the competition again next year as it’s a great confidence boost to all students who compete.

Glenda Jones, South Downs College
SEBTA was very well organised by the highly supportive trainers at The Carlton Group who guided us through the competition at every stage. At the final, the students were put at their ease. SEBTA is definitely something I would recommend to students in the future. We will certainly carry on taking part each year.

Christine Bendahmane, Dumfries & Galloway College
The hospitality and friendliness of the SEBTA team is second to none. The competition is very well organised and all the students were put at their ease prior to the start of the competition. Thank you to everyone concerned for such an enjoyable experience.

Helen Taylor, Warwickshire college
SEBTA is an inspirational event that reaches out to students. It reinforces all that is good practice within the Beauty Therapy field and I feel leads the way for the future with electrical therapy work. It is a truly enjoyable event, and a chance to meet other professionals who share the same passion and high quality work within electrotherapy.

Valerie Furneaux, Wirral Metropolitan College
The competition was executed with precision accuracy. It is such a privilege to be part of this prestigious award which has such a high regard within the beauty industry and such a wonderful experience for learners. The generous prizes for the competitor, college and lecturer are second to none and make it a very desirable competition to enter. I will certainly be encouraging my learners next year to enter.
