I joined Demi Apprentices and Trainees to continue my hairdressing apprenticeship and it was the best decision I ever made. From the first time I met my trainer she made me feel so comfortable and started to get me back on track with training. In the time she has been my trainer I have become so much more confident and performing amazing work, all taught by my trainer in the salon! The trainer shows she genuinely cares about hairdressing and her students, which hasn’t been shown by other trainers I’ve had. Although I was nervous to join Demi Apprentices and Trainees, it was definitely the best decision I have made with my career and it’s all thanks to my amazing trainer, I couldn’t ask for anyone better!

I highly recommend Demi Apprentices and Trainees to any student and employer! The RTO has fantastic resources and is very modern and up to date. I also highly recommend my trainer! She has been amazing throughout my whole entire apprenticeship, she is very knowledgeable & supportive and makes the information easy to understand and remember for students.

Demi Apprentices and Trainees has been the best RTO by far. Before coming to DAAT I had no hope in finishing my
apprenticeship. I just want to say a huge thank you to my trainer, she helped me complete my apprenticeship on the asap when I had no motivation to do so. I now enjoy what I do and now I’m able to perform my passion in the industry!
