Signa Mrdalo wins gold medal in wellness and spa

Signa Mrdalo has received the highest possible honour for her final vocational exam in wellness and spa, becoming the first student in the department to earn a gold medal, KVF reported.

Mrdalo took the lengthy journeyman’s exam last week. She said students had been told that earning silver would be like getting gold because the top medal was considered impossible to win.

“I think you have to average 11.7 across all the parts of the exam that day to get gold, and I managed it,” Mrdalo said.

She has a few weeks left in her training before she can qualify as a cosmetician. Mrdalo said some people leave the programme because they think the work is mainly about makeup, while others are surprised by how much theory they have to learn. After the exam draw placed her in the subject she liked best, she put all her effort into it.
