Reviews
What do our students say about us?
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
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.
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! 😊
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Missing 5th star as school definitely needs new space as school is very outdated, not very well kept, crowded with items, often missing such simple things as hand soap etc.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.
Would highly recommend this course!
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!
Maryam
I am happy and honoured to have been able to learn from experts in the field. The teachers were truly welcoming and patient throughout the course and I can only thank them wholeheartedly! I recommend this course 100%! Super satisfied and I will definitely come here for other training courses!
Thanks.
The equipment was of the last technology.
I highly recommend this school,good staff and good standard.
I completed the Level 2 course at this beauty school, and I'm currently working my way through Level 3. The knowledge and skills I've gained so far have been incredibly valuable. The instructors are dedicated and experienced, always ready to answer questions and provide guidance. Looking forward to mastering Level 3!
RAY COCHRANE highly recommended 😍😍😍
Zubin was very helpful with my Inquiry
I had recently finished my Diploma Nail technician course level 3
I love Arjana who was my teacher and was absolutely helpful, professional and knowledgeable with her approach. Thank you so much Arjana x.
Also the most important is if for any reason you miss the class or is cancelled they cover it for you so Worth doing your course.
Other staff are very nice too. Highly recommended school as they have excellent tutors, have quality and high standards of trainings
I can't say enough and thank her for the best support I get and the informations she gave me.
Thank you MIGLENA and thanks Ray Cochrane for such a wonderful experience 😊
I feel I have have 10/10 training and the machines we had to work on were of very high quality.
I feel excited to start my journey into laser. Thank you! 🥰
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.
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 had been provided with the best training and education in a wide range of beauty and spa therapies. 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!!!!!
(COVID-19) for Beauty and Nail Services
After taking advice from the college I took the 10 week course, 2 days a week.
The course was intensive but our teacher Arjana was very patient and helpful.
I met some lovely people on the course and we all shared our problems together.
I am delighted to say I've just passed the exams and have received my diplomas.
Thank you to everyone at Ray Cochrane for all your help and kindness during the last few months.
