Deborah Jay Kelly is the founder and CEO of The Angel Academy of Teaching and Training which was established in 2003.

Having started out as a freelance journalist and progressing to Promotions for different television channels, Deborah became fascinated in the common link attributed to stress and illness.

Deborah trained in 65 therapies/courses, all of which achieved accreditation’s with ITEC, VTCT, NVQ and City and Guilds. This is where she found her real passion to be.

Deborah is also an International Trainer, and Assessor and an Independent Assurance Officer. Whilst running a full-time job and studying, Deborah began treating people at an elite Spa, and this led to the Principle of a College being so impressed at how well she felt after one of Deborah’s treatments, that she asked her to teach at her College. Deborah had previously taught for many years in a prestigious school in Harley Street, before being trained up as a professional Tutor and Assessor in order to continue teaching across many Colleges for a total of 8 years. This is where she met many Students who still do courses with her today.

In 2003, due to increasing demand, Deborah founded the Angel Academy of Teaching and Training, which is accredited by the FHT, VTCT, NVQ and ABT and able to give CPD points for courses.

Today, Deborah lives out her daily passion by working as a Beauty Trainer seven days a week, appearing in many television shows and promotions often discussing her work and running the Angel Academy weekend courses. 

More recently, Deborah was called to put together a team of her Students in order to work with a group of Celebrity Dancers called ‘Diversity’ for a show called ‘Ashley’s Secret Street Crew’. The decision was tough but she settled on a group of her students and therapists. Little did she know that this would lead to ‘The Angel Academy of Teaching and Training’ becoming one of the most televised beauty schools of all time!

NOMINATED MOST INSPIRING PERSON OF THE YEAR 2015

Here is one of the nominations from one of Deborah Jay Kelly’s Students:

1 Why are you nominating this person? She takes each student under her wings and spends time making them the person they believe they can be. She sees her students as her family and has established a unique and personal training environment which she did after working for so long in the superficial world of teaching… where there were sometimes 30 people in the classroom. She dedicates 7 days a week to helping her students and her love of teaching rubs off on her students who want to come back again and again. She runs the only teaching school that offers every student the opportunity to come back and sit in the same subject class again and again until they feel fully confident (for free) and she selflessly promotes them on all of her social media as she wants them to be successful. She has lots of techniques that she has created herself which she shares with students and her positivity rubs off on her students.

2 What have they done to inspire you? She has made me confident of my abilities and given me the chance to believe in myself. I have met other amazing students and friends through the school and know that she will offer support even after the courses if I need it. After suffering from severe eczema and agoraphobia for 10 years, and after having found recovery, she has inspired others by sharing her story publicaly and on television in the hope to offer encouragement to those who lack confidence and are suffering from long-term illness. She understands and relates to every creed and colour and has gone out of her way to train those with disabilities even if it means travelling to their home to train them! In her late 40’s she has managed to become one of the most televised beauty tutor and beauty school. The press, TV and media are fascinated by her passion for her school and her recovery from illness and she is nearly always featured on a TV programme. She has promoted her students, BABTAC and VTCT happily in all media as she likes to help others along the way too!

3 Why would they be a worthy winner of this category? She is humble and would consider what she does to be a normal day to day thing. She believes that she is here to help others, has a duty and is at her happiest when doing so. It would be nice for her to get some recognition of this as she never asks for anything back in return.   www.angel-academy.co.uk

Hotel Adlon Kemplinski Berlin

Deborah is a very professional trainer showing a high level of competence. I appreciated very much her flexibility as due to sickness and operations we had to work a little bit around the original training plan. The training was very individualized, concentrating on all individual strengths and needs.

Oxley Blue Fish Spa

Overall I am so pleased with the entire process from the enquiry to the end of the training. It was nothing short of brilliant, and I would not hesitate to recommend ‘The Angel Academy’ to any Salon or Spa requiring Holistic Training.

THE LAUNCH OF VTCT LEVEL 4 CERTIFICATE IN LASER AND INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

Intense Pulsed Light or Laser Hair Removal. Hugely popular in the UK, this treatment leads the way in permanent hair removal. Salons around the UK command very good profits from a course of IPL or laser. In the 2000′s, women have the opportunity to be hair free and this has led to an increase in the demand for hair free bodies. Certain cultures dictate that women be as hair free as possible and IPL allows for this. There are certain IPL machines in the market that are virtually pain free, making it possible for a woman to have a ‘brazilian’ or a ‘hollywood’ treatment. Please enquire if you wish to know more. How Does IPL Work The treatment involves the application of a focused, broad-spectrumlight (xenon), which is applied to the surface of the skin using a hand-held application head. Selective photo-thermolysis involves the process of the light, which travels across and within the range until it reaches the hair shafts or the root of the hair (the bulb). The bulb is usually where the highest concentration of melanin is located. The melanin is what determines our hair/skin colour and once this melanin has been destroyed there can be no […]
