The story of
The Creative Quarter Academy
The CQA was founded by its Director Billie Rowland in 2021 and was built on a passion to provide high quality training in the beauty industry that whole heartedly reflects an ever evolving industry. Billie’s personal career in this industry that evolved from a background in Law gave her the personal pursuit of providing others with a learning experience she felt wasn’t available to her in her local area. Following a move to Dubai, her passion was ignited and she used this experience to make the CQA what it is today.
