- Where are they now?

"In 2021 I started the Hairdressing Junior Stylist level 2 course and now I’m in my second year as a Senior Stylist level 3-. BIFE for me meant - overcoming fear, pushing myself. I challenged myself even further and signed up for the ERASMUS programme that literally changed my life. It was one of the most amazing experiences that I can not recommend enough, it helps build your confidence, make new memories, tie new friendships and not the least get to experience living and working in a foreign country. In BIFE i get all the amazing support from the tutors who guide and encouraged me constantly and most importantly believed in me even when I didn’t." - Andrala Tabara
