A BEAUTIFUL life on the ocean wave could be waiting for a Kidderminster student following her county college success.

Charlotte Causer, of Marlpool Lane, has been awarded a distinction after successfully completing her beauty therapy course at Worcester College of Technology.

She trained in everything from manicure to massage and was also named as student of the year for her expertise in the specialist area of epilation - the removal of unwanted hair.

Now she has an NVQ Level 3 to her name, she is looking for a job in the county.

"I need at least a year's experience and, after that, I am hoping to work as a beauty therapist on a cruise liner," said the 18-year-old former Bewdley High School pupil.
