TESTIMONIALS



Just a few of the many comments our students have made while studying at The
Marvell Hair Academy.

Dear Yvonne,

I am writing to thank you for an extremely enjoyable PIP refresher course at
Marvell Academy.

I am extremely pleased with the progress I made and how much we were able to fit
in. I feel your course offered excellent value for money and was delivered in a
friendly and professional environment.

You and your staff were so kind and friendly and offered knowledge and
experience brilliantly. I learned so much.

I would very much like to come to your academy for further training and look
forward to speaking with you about it soon.

Can't wait to receive my certificate!

Warm Regards,

Niki Gooch.



Laura Moroney (2022)

I would like to take this time to give my review of Marvell Hair Academy
Swindon.

From the moment I initiated contact with Yvonne, the communication was
excellent. There was clarity from the beginning on what would be required and
expected of me and also how I would be taught and assessed throughout. My first
visit to the academy (with my new baby strapped to me) was all the evidence I
needed to know that this was the course for me. I needed to feel the atmosphere
and have relaxed vibes in order to be able to learn well along with many other
pressures of work and family life.

I have found the experience here to be incomparable to other learning
environments. I have found the academy to be extremely positive, supportive,
warm and friendly. You almost feel welcomed into a family in this atmosphere.

The support I receive is crucial to me. I am a mum of 2 young children so I need
answers to queries or issues that I'm having quite quickly as my time is
limited. I have never been disappointed with the support in this regard.

This brings me to my tutor. Jade is absolutely fabulous. She is such a brilliant
tutor. She works so hard and never ever makes you feel like you're asking too
many questions. Her patience is so inspirational and she never makes me feel
rushed. I go to the academy Monday evenings and I find this time is like a home
from home while learning so much. I rate the class sizes most importantly to me.
The small class sizes have meant that there has been quality and valuable time
put into me and my skill. I am being shown and tested by Jade perfectly. Jade
praises me all the time for what I'm good at and works with me closely when I'm
not so confident in other parts of the course.

If Jade isn't around or I need to change my evening there will always a
proactive, friendly tutor to assist.

The course has been consistent, extremely well laid out and so interesting.
Yvonne is very organised which really means a lot to me when doing a course. Her
videos are really clear and thorough, she is really skilled so it is wonderful
to be able to learn from her and to have these videos moving forward.

I cannot praise and recommend this course and academy enough.

Many thanks
Laura Moroney


Jenna Collyett (2022)


When I was looking around for a Academy/College to take my education further it
was always in the front of my head this is going to be a struggle to find
somewhere for me because of my dyslexia. I know I learn differently to others
though in my years I have noticed some trainers/tutors get frustrated because I
just didn’t understand.
When I met Amy I was upfront with my needs and struggles and to my surprise Amy
said she was also Dyslexic. Now this could have gone two ways, we would either
bash heads and neither of us would understand each other or she would be
absolutely amazing with my learning.
Thankfully I took the plunge and just enrolled, and I’m so glad I did. Amy
became my tutor and helped me every step of the way, there was days I just
didn’t understand and I didn’t hesitate to say “I don’t understand” and she
would explain the question to me in 10 different ways until I got it. She was
incredibly patient, calm and we had a great deal of laughs when it came to me
asking my questions. She has a very good sense of humour when it comes to
everything teaching which puts my mind at rest and I know I can speak for others
when I say she did the same for them too. Without Amy I don’t think I would have
gotten where I am today, my own business is thriving because she’s helped me
understand hairdressing in away I don’t think anyone else could help me. She’s
been so calm and supportive with everything I’ve done and always been available
when I needed her.
I think Amy truly deserves this award because not only has she been an amazing
tutor who trying gave time to understand me but also a friend that I could also
go too for help with hairdressing. I could tell she really did put everything
into her work and for somebody who needed extra help she went above and beyond.


PAIGE CREIGHTON (2019)

Being one of the youngest students studying at Marvel Academy, wasn’t just a
worry about the amount of learning support I would get, but it was also a worry
about the one to one time I could have with the tutors. Throughout my current
learning, Yvonne and Amy have been so kind and welcoming, in which they
encourage myself through the course, especially when I begin to struggle on the
work. They offer you one to one time, or just time when you can come in yourself
and just get on with the work. They have help gained my confidence and never
stop pushing me to the best of my ability. I am excited to what my future may
hold with this amazing qualification.

CARLA ROBERTS (2019)

I am a current student studying NVQ level 2 hair dressing.

When looking into hair dressing courses available in Swindon, It was Swindon
college and Marvell Hair Academy which caught my attention.
Being a mature student, it was essential to me that I made the right choice on a
course, and where to train. Therefore I had an abundant of questions to ask. I
made contact with both the college and Marvell, and it was Yvonne’s at Marvell
Hair Academy fantastic communication that made me know that this was the place I
wanted to do my training. All of my questions were answered promptly and
in-depth. It was actually after a few email conversations with Yvonne, that I
realised I wasn’t quite at the point in life where I could give the course my
all and I decided to wait 1 year until my youngest was a year older and at
nursery. One year on and here I am!

MANDY QUARRELL

For me, Marvell Hair Academy is everything I wanted and more. The other students
attending the academy are of a whole range of ages meaning you will never feel
too old/young or out of place.
The class sizes are small and teachers are able to dedicate more time with you,
which is a very different experience to a full compacity class at college,
making the lessons more engaging.
The Academy is flexible, and I can fit my learning around my family without
compromise. It is clean and well equipped, but most importantly Amy and Yvonne
are amazing teachers. The support, patience and dedication they show to their
students is incredible. All of these things together really makes Marvell Hair
Academy unique. I will highly recommend the Academy to anyone wanting to train
in the hair industry and hope to further my education and skills within the
academy in the future.
Mandy Quarrell 2015-16
I qualified as a hairdresser to NVQ Level 2 ten years ago and have be running my
own salon for nine.

I decided to gain my NVQ level 3 initially to give me confidence with colour
correction and modern cutting techniques.

I chose The Marvell Hair Academy because of the small group sizes and their
connection to the industry. They were extremely accommodating with the times
that they offered, so I could work around my existing commitments.

After completing my NVQ3 I have since been back and gained my qualification in
hair extensions and assessing vocational competence.

I have also sent two of my staff members to Marvell for further training which
they found to be encouraging and inspirational, re-energising there passion for
hairdressing.
I found all of the staff to be very knowledgeable and supportive throughout my
training and I'm sure I will be back.

I did my level 1 hairdressing at college when I was 16, Then I left and worked
until I was 25. I went thought a break up and after that I decide to go back to
what I missed and loved which was hairdressing.

My dad came home and told me about the academy where I then rang Yvonne, went in
and had a chat with her.

I started my level 2 in the October, I was so excited to start, There was no
worries because Yvonne and Amy is amazing! So helpful anything you needed they
would help, Even with theory they would sit with you and make sure you fully
understood everything.
I struggled with my cutting I really thought I wasn't going to get through it,
worried I sat and spoke to Yvonne and the week after we was doing one on one
cutting, after that everything just clicked and then I loved cutting. I
completed my level 2 and now I am in my level 3, I am finishing in 2 months and
I have loved every minute of it! I have had so much fun, Yvonne and Amy have
made it an absolute pleasure to work with, even though I wont be without them
totally as I am renting a chair on a Saturday within the academy!

The Marvell Hair Academy is the best choice I have ever made its worth every
penny! The one on one and the extra help, and reassurance when needed just makes
life so much easier especially when you work another job and things get
stressful.

I owe these ladies so much they have helped me start building the empire I have
always dreamed of.

In 2012, I decided to retrain as a hairdresser and Yvonne Marvell was one of the
tutors on the two-year course at a Swindon college. I thought she was excellent
then. When I qualified (level 2), I decided to pursue a level 3 qualification
and this is where I met up with Yvonne again, now at The Marvell Hair Academy.

Due to the success at The Marvell Hair Academy they have moved to their very own
new bespoke premises in Swindon. I honestly can't say enough good things about
this academy: it feels like it's bespoke training such is the excellent
continued support. Amy (Denton), our tutor, is especially supportive. All
students are treated as valuable assets to the industry and all of the tutors
are genuinely interested in having all of their students succeed.

I hope that very soon, The Marvell Hair Academy will become the UK's South West
gateway for hairdresser training. They deserve all the success that their hard
work will achieve.

I have just completed a PIPs course (personal improvement course) with The
Marvell Hair Academy in preparation for my level 3. Having completed my level 2
through an adult learning course at Swindon College, I didn't feel confident
with the skills I had gained. Having one on one tuition with Yvonne and Amy
through a taylor made package was absolutely brilliant and suited my needs
accordingly. The tutors are extremely patient and knowledgeable and picked up on
where I was going wrong straight away allowing me to progress quickly.

The class sizes, facilities and salon are all wonderful and perfect for students
of all ages and abilities. I'd reccommend the courses to everyone.

Marvellous Marvell Academy allows you to gain the experience of working in a
real salon environment, watching stylists hands on! It's flexible, fast paced
with great opportunities to rent a chair and build up your own clientele. Would
highly recommend!

Claire Lay (2016)

I qualified at Swindon college in my level 2 hairdressing and even though I
really enjoyed college the classes were large so it was hard to get that one on
one tuition, I then decided to apply to do a pips course at The Marvell Hair
Academy and I found it enjoyable, it was one on one tuition with Yvonne, she had
taken time with me to go through services that I struggled with, I could do the
pips course within the hours of my full time job.

Doing this pips course meant that I was getting more confident and I knew that I
would definitely benefit from doing my level 3 at the academy. I started my
level 3 in October 2015 and I am due to qualify October 2016 and I can honestly
say it was the best decision I have ever made, I can see my confidence has grown
and I enjoy every second of being there. My tutor Amy has really made me believe
In myself that I can do it, she takes the time to go through questions or to
show me demonstrations.

Personally for me If I struggled with a few things either Amy or Yvonne would
set some time as side to help me. Group sizes are small which means you can get
the support that you need and the times and days of the course are perfect to
work around my full time job. The opportunities you can get whilst doing this
course are amazing you get to work within a salon environment and now I am now
renting a chair on a Saturday through the academy which is an amazing
opportunity for myself.

Honestly if you are thinking of applying please do it here, these ladies have
made me a confident hair stylist and most of all I feel really comfortable in
this academy everyone helps each other out. I was worried that asking questions
would be silly but that's far from it at the academy because asking questions is
all part of the learning. I wouldn't be the confident, happy hair stylist
without them! I would highly recommend!
