Giselle Beck Davies

Principal

Giselle has been in the Beauty business for over 30 years, having trained at the world famous Champney’s College in Tring and gaining experience working on their Health Farm. She worked as Spa Manager at The Metropole Hotel and then went on to open several of her own Salons before training as a Teacher and assessor and being invited to teach in Further Education and then private colleges. Seeing the need for high standards on the coast, she gained accreditation from C.I.B.T.A.C, The British Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists own examining board which is the preferred qualification in the Beauty Industry Internationally. Giselle has been succesfully running courses in Marbella since 2008, and gets so much satisfaction from watching her students grow in confidence and self belief as they learn and then go on to reap the rewards of their hard work. Contrary to belief, it is an academic qualification equivalent to A level standards, so often students who have struggled through school and been told they are non achievers can gain this prestigious qualification including the stand alone Anatomy and Physiology diploma, because it is applied to a practical subject they enjoy!

Jane O´Brien

Head Tutor

Jane has over 20 years’ experience and has enjoyed every minute of it. She trained at Doncaster College and went on to work for 4 years as a Beauty Therapist at Centre Parks in Sherwood Forest. She then became assistant Manager of a Spa which was voted Best Health Spa by Good House Keeping Magazine 2 years in a row. Jane went back to college and achieved her Teaching and Assessment Certificates, which is where she found that her real passion was in passing on her own experience to new recruits. After working as Beauty Therapy coordinator at Oracle Training and teaching Beauty Therapy and key skills, Jane moved to sunny Spain and went on to manage another 5 star Spa on the Coast for 8 years, but missed teaching and so came to join MBA where she feels truly happy striving for success by passing on all her knowledge and expertise to enthusiastic students.
