What do our students say?
I did my Level 4 Laser & Light with Ray Cochrane and after 6 years not treating, my tutor Miglena was fantastic at getting me back up to speed very quickly! The sessions were informative, interesting and thorough. I can’t thank the school and the lovely Miglena enough for making my experience such a positive one! I highly recommend to any of my industry colleagues looking to further their skills.
Completed my level 4 Laser and IPL VTCT course months ago.I am satisfied and grateful to Miglena for the support ,professionalism and patience .
I can’t recommend this laser course enough! It provided a perfect balance of theory and practical application. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this course is a must-attend.
I have done VTCT Level 2 facial at the school ,so would definitely recommend to all who wish to become a beauty professional. I am really grateful for giving us all necessary knowledge and practical skills. Especially thank Maria for being patient and giving us pieces of advice from her own experience
I've just completed my Level 5 Laser Tattoo Removal course with the beautiful Miglena and I cannot review the school (as well as Eleanora & Miglena) more highly. Thank you for giving me the confidence to start my own lasering business. If anyone reading this is unsure, do it!! It's the best thing you'll ever do. The content is informative, interesting & well set out. We had plenty of practice on several models which really helped to fine-tune our skills. Overall, an amazing school that are so supportive and a very experienced & knowledgeable tutor in Miglena. Thank you everyone! I will miss you guys! Amy Ostojic, xtractlaserco x
I finished a six week level 2 facial and skin care specialist course and I had the best time and I learned so much.
Maria, my tutor, was so knowledgeable, patient and professional. I loved every single moment at the academy. Looking forward to completing more courses in the future. Highly recommend

Just completed my Level 2 Facial and Skincare with Maria and loved it! She was amazing!
We spent our first week at the old location and then continued learning at their new location just down the road. The new location has much more daylight and is a lot less crowded. Overall a great experience.

I recently completed Level 1&2 Beauty as well as Level 4 Laser and IPL Hair Removal courses. The comprehensive curriculum and hands-on experience provided by the courses were invaluable. The instructors were knowledgeable, and I am grateful for the skills and expertise I gained. Highly recommend these courses for anyone pursuing a career in beauty and aesthetics.
I completed my Level 2 & 3 (Facial Electrotherapy), as well as my Level 4 (Microneedling & Chemical Peel) courses at Ray Cochrane, and I am very happy with the overall experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive and making most of the classes engaging and enjoyable (especially Pembe & Eleonora).
The Level 2 and 3 courses provided a strong foundation, and the Level 4 course, despite presenting a few minor challenges and communication issues, was still enriching. The knowledge gained has been great. I am definitely considering enrolling in another course at some point! 😊

Finished my VTCT Level 2 and Level 4 in Ray Cochrane.
Overall an amazing school with the most knowledgeable teacher I've come across in all my courses - Eleonora. Eleonora truly is a gem, extremely patient, kind and able to answer every question.
Missing 5th star as school definitely needs new space as school is very outdated, not very well kept, crowded with items, often missing such simple things as hand soap etc. Having said that, if I would choose to continue my learning, I would go for Ray Cochrane again.

I would like to thank Ray Cochrane Beauty School for the professional training! I was qualified at Ray Cochrane for Beauty Level 3 and Level 4 . Tutors Laura level3 (beauty) and Miglena level4 (lasers & IPL hair removal and skin rejuvenation) are very professional and friendly. After study Within a week I got job at Laser clinic UK. I enjoyed very much studying at this school and I highly recommend. Thank you very much for your knowledge and professionalism!
I completed my level 4 laser and IPL a few weeks ago with Ray Cochrane. Miglena is a fantastic teacher with a wealth of knowledge and I left feeling so much more confident, skilled with understanding in IPL and laser. Having a small group of 4 was perfect and was all so supportive.
Would highly recommend this course!

I have just returned from completing the level 4 IPL and laser course at Ray Cochrane.
It was an absolutely amazing experience. The teacher Miglena was incredibly knowledgeable and broke the theory of laser and IPL down into what any of the group needed to be able to understand.
Miglena was incredibly kind and patient and is the most wonderful teacher, the group I was in was beyond supportive to one another, I couldn't have asked for more.
The course is in depth and provides the knowledge you need to work as a laser technician, it has certainly filled in the blanks that I needed to do my job.
I highly recommend anyone in the Beauty industry to look into this course and apply, you won't regret it!

I had a Level 2-3 skin care and electrotherapy with teacher Pembe Hassan. She was amazing lovely, funny, knowledgeable and supportive. Even after I’ve done the course she still help me out through some questions.
We send our therapists to Ray Cochrane for advanced laser & IPL training: we find their instruction to be detailed and professional, and they have been able to arrange bespoke courses tailored to our requirements. The staff, notably Amy and Xubin, are extremely responsive, and dealing with them has been a pleasure. Highly recommended!
I successfully completed the laser and IPL course at Cochrane Beauty Academy, and I must say that Miglena was an exceptional teacher. Her patience and extensive knowledge made my learning experience truly enjoyable.

I completed my level 2 and 3 in nails and my level 3 in beauty therapy. I can not recommend Ray Cochrane enough. I am now going to complete my level 4 courses and looking forward to being back.

I highly recommend them. They provide excellent support and are super helpful. The whole team from the teachers to the reception are great. Completely worth it!

I recently completed the levels 2 & 3 Nail Technician course with Ray Cochrane in June 2023 at Canary Wharf. My teacher Arjana was AMAZING! her knowledge, experience and techniques are excellent. I have learned so many new techniques and gained so much industry knowledge. The course has given me a lot more confidence provide the best nail treatments and enhancements to clients. If anyone is considering taking this course you will not be disappointed. I want to say a BIG thank you!! to my teacher Arjana for all her help and support for the last 5 months.
I had amazing training Level 4 Laser&Ipl. The training was intensive, and Miglena has a very good way of explaining things and is really knowledge and approachable. I enjoy the way of studying, the place, the environment , everything is what I like and feel so comfortable. She gives individual attention to every student and explains everything in detail. Thank you so much for everyone in school to help me especially to Miglena. I am so lucky to have the chance to study at Ray Cochrane Beauty Academy. I have no hesitation in recommending the Ray Cochrane Beauty School for a high quality education in Level 4 Laser hair removal & Ipl. I am really happy to chose this beauty academy, and Miglena made me confident in Level 4 Laser&Ipl. Thank you so much! Elka
Overall, the whole experience with Ray Cochrane was amazing and I chose the best school for my beauty course. Korrin who was my teacher and was absolutely helpful, professional and knowledgeable with her approach. Thank you so much Korrin and I am ready for the beauty world.
I've been a model for students' practical training for some time now and I am so impressed with their quality standards! First of all the instructor (Meglena) is amazing! She's knowledgeable, experienced, thorough with unbelievable attention to detail. I can easily trust her with my face and body and I'm a very peaky client. In her hands and in hands of her students I feel safe. All students are guided at every little step of their learning journey. She's always there for them, showing them the way, supporting, giving valuable information and assessing their knowledge. The clinic is equipped with latest machines and they use their best devices for training purposes which is a pure admiration. Apart from that every student is equipped with ever changing PPE and they use high quality expensive skin products. The school provides it all and they invest so much into offering the best working environment to their students. Seeing all this makes me consider becoming a beauty industry student at Ray Cochrane myself.
I did finish my Level 4 Hair Removal /IPL today and I am so pleased that I passed. I'm very grateful to be part of this school. Miglena is amazing and one of the best tutor I have ever met. I believe that she's a good asset of this reputable school.
Other staff are very nice too. Highly recommended school as they have excellent tutors, have quality and high standards of trainings

I’ve done 4 courses here at Ray Cochrane and can honestly say I’m so pleased. Every teacher that I’ve had has been amazing and so knowledgeable. My most recent course was the Microblading with Eleonora and I’m so glad I’ve taken it. Definitely would recommend every course here to everyone! Thank you again to all teachers for being so patient and supportive💕
I recently completed my Level 4 Laser /IPL at Ray Cochrane (Baker Street) we had a very supportive course Tutor, Milgena she was very informative throughout the course and helped us during our time studying. I highly recommend!
Studying at Ray Cochrane has truly changed my life! My qualifications have opened many doors for me, and I'm grateful to the school and my teachers for their high quality teaching. Highly recommend studying here.

I completed Level 4 in laser and IPL at Ray Cochrane a few years ago and 3 of my laser therapists have just finished their Level 4 courses. The training is gold standard and the tutors are knowledgable, friendly and experienced. We love the fact that they use Alma Soprano laser machines which we have in our clinic, and the Alma IPL Harmony skin treatment machine As one of the longest established beauty academies in the UK I wouldn’t send my therapists anywhere else!!
I cannot say how grateful I am for this school, especially for two amazing tutors: Maria in facial level 2 and Carmen in level 3. From reception and all the staff involved, everything went smooth and they all make sure you have the best knowledge when completing your course.
Would recommend the school! 5 ⭐️ for their great teachers. Thank you Maria for your great expertise and engaging classes, and Carmen who literally saved a whole class with patience and huge knowledge.

I recently completed my Level 3 Beauty Therapy course with Ray Cochrane (Baker Street) we had a very supportive course Tutor, Korrin Johnson she was very informative throughout the course and helped us during our time studying. There were various elements to the Beauty Therapy course, it was useful to record videos to be able to look back on. Korrin also helped us with any questions we had on practical work experience and was always there to guide and answer any questions we had.
I did not attend a course myself but spoke to the admin team on numerous occasions and I cannot begin to explain how helpful, understanding and supportive they were. I would 100% recommend Ray Cochrane Beauty School to anyone wanting to further their education - what a fabulous place and a fabulous team!
I have just finished the VTCT level 4 in laser hair reduction and IPL skin rejuvenation. The school was in a easy to get to area, with plenty of local food places to feed myself. The training was intensive, but Miglena has a very good way of explaining things and is really knowledge and approachable. We had the most up to date equipment to practice with and they had organised models for us to practice on ( this often isn't the case I've found with courses). Lastly the girls in the office were very helpful and friendly if I needed any help with anything. Highly recommend.
I made my level 3 beauty therapy in this school and I was very pleased with our teacher Korrin. She was very open to give a lot of knowledge, very diplomatic and patient, caring and attentive. The school location is very convenient, the course was informative and I enjoyed Sunday attendance as it allowed me to work during the week. The interior rooms are quiet simple but they had everything needed for the course.
Being a student for level 4 ( Laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation) also for level 4 ( Chemical peel and Microneedling) was the best experienced ever. I am so proud of learning by this amazing school and got advanced knowledge, because now I am working to one of the famous clinic in Mayfair, London. I will recommend this for all ladies that want a real beauty school for all the treatment from level 2 and up to advance. A big thank you for all the staff and especialy, the director Eleonora that also is the great teacher ever.

One year ago I graduated with the CIBTAC/CIDESCO diploma and also level 4 (Laser& IPL). It has been the most intense but also the most rewarding experience of my life so far.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all my amazing tutors, the school director Xubin Yuan and our admin team Amy and Stella ,who were assisting me to get through this incredible journey and made me who I am today.
After finishing school, I got the job offer in one of the most leading, medical-grade laser and skin clinic in London, where I currently work as an aesthetic practitioner. Every day my heart is fulfilled with joy, satisfaction and happiness for an opportunity to do what i love the most!!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

What you need to know about your course
-
Is VTCT equivalent to NVQ?
**NVQ** – NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualifications. This is the general name given to the courses in the UK. It is important to understand this is not just a certificate for knowledge but also for your skills. **VTCT** – Vocational Training Charitable Trust – this is the assessment organisation that will ultimately award the certificate for your diploma in beauty therapy. Our NVQ courses are awarded by VTCT. This is why you may see the two acronyms used at the same time.
-
What can I do after a Level 2 Beauty Therapy Course?
On successful completion of our Level 2 courses, you could progress to a higher level course, such as Level 3, an apprenticeship or other employment.
-
Will my NVQ/VTCT beauty or aesthetics qualification expire?
You do not need to renew an NVQ as they don't expire.
-
How will you be assessed?
For each unit of the level 2 beauty therapy course, you will perform practical skills, submit coursework and sit for tests. Assessment will be continuous throughout the duration of your course. The beauty training consists of practical assessments, oral questions, theory tests, and assignments. At the end of the course, you must provide evidence to determine whether you have reached the required level of competence. Written assessment papers will give further evidence of your knowledge and understanding of the subject. The collation of the assessments will be contained in a portfolio which will contain all document feedback sheets, including all written work.
