When you wish there were more opportunities to learn in Ireland… you start working to bring them here!
As someone who is always looking to improve my skills, I know how challenging it can be to travel abroad for training. That inspired me to bring more learning opportunities to Ireland, so we can grow together, closer to home.
I’m so excited and grateful to welcome **Pavlo Kvartyrnykov to Excellence Academy of Foot Health in Kanturk, North Cork!**
I have followed Pavlo’s work for a long time and have always admired his skills and teaching approach. To have the opportunity to learn from him here—and share that opportunity with others—means so much to me.
With **over 30 years of practical experience and 25 years of teaching**, Pavlo will share his knowledge through small-group learning, practical demonstrations and **hands-on training with real models**.
For foot health practitioners, beauty therapists, nurses and those developing their skills in podology, this is an opportunity to learn, connect and build confidence.
Upcoming training:
• Therapeutic Pedicure
