What our students say.

“Their passion for cosmetology and teaching was evident every day as they nurtured and encouraged us to be the best we could be. Our respected principal Mrs Naidoo assisted us with job placements at Laser Lipo Global. I would highly recommend Camford Academy to anyone who wants to study in this field.”
