Oonagh Wolfkamp – Beauty Therapy Industry Assessor
As soon as Oonagh began her training to become a beauty therapist, she developed a passion for the beauty industry that has stuck with her throughout her career.
With over 40 years of experience in the beauty industry, Oonagh has worked as a beauty therapist, owned her own business, held positions on committees and boards, tutored future beauty professionals, and helped develop programmes and qualifications. With so much experience under her belt, the next step for Oonagh was to become a HITO Industry Assessor.
“Becoming an Industry Assessor seemed like a natural progression after such significant experience in the field,” says Oonagh. “I consider it a huge privilege to be part of the candidates learning journey.”
To apprentices about to sit their practical assessments, Oonagh’s words of advice are “to reduce any nervousness you might feel when you are being assessed, make sure your trainer checks all your practical work in the weeks leading up to your assessment. Consider several practice runs under assessment conditions so you feel super confident on the day!”
