- The staff at ray Cochrane are Freindly and very helpful and Tutor Ms Suri is always on hand to help. The course absolutly mey my expectations but was a little harder than i ever imagined. Since i qualified i have been working very hard as a freelance beautician. I regard the training as excellent and i have been back to the school many times since leaving for beauty treatments. ray cochrane has definitely helped me get ahead in the industry.

- My favourite memories of the school were that I acquired new skills and was part of a highly regarded establishment. The course met all my expectations and i have returned since leaving to teach part - time in the school. I have also worked part-time in a hospice at the mount vernon hospital as the senior complementary therapist. The Qualification really helped me gain credability when applying for my first job.

- The school was very supportive particually Miss Suri and Miss Crowtree. The course was beyond my expectations and of course i left with a CIDESCO qualification. Since i left the school i have managed to get myself a job and firstly worked at the Chealsea harbour club and then moved on to a top-end salon in chelsea. I owe all this to ray cochrane beauty school. i must say after leaving the course everybody wants to employ you because of the outstanding reputation within the industury of the school.

- i really enjoyed the course and enjoyed the massage, facials and the CIDESCO project. Also i enjoyed the anatomy and physiology theory units. The course exceeded my expectiations and since qualifiying i have worked in various salons and spas. I have also worked for cosmeceuticals ltd that distribute mineral make up and vintage makeup. The training i received i would rate as excellent. The ray cochrane school helped me get my current job although a few of the spa's had not heard of the CIDESCO qualificaion, but on the whole they knew.

- I felt the full support of the tutors while i was there and all the way through my study through this hands on practical course. Since i have qualified i have been on further training in areas such as colonic irregation, laser hair removal and elemis face. i think this school is the best, as they prepare you for differing situations with clients that you may experience in your working life. I also know that i got the best training availiable.

- Course content *****
- My memories of this place involve lots of lovely people. After graduating i joined clarins as a therapist and work across SE England. I have also worked in Fenwick in Bond street and then have moved into a supporting role for the sales manager. I believe the skills i learnt in ray cochrane have transfered well to a multitude of jobs. The industry has lived up to my expectations but am still very disappointed with salary levels for therapists, especailly given the hard work the job can be. the ray cochrane school helped me get my foot in the door of many jobs due to its reputation and the tutors ensure that everything you do is to the highest standards, which helps in any industry you then go on to enter.

- All my expectations were met, as i learned how to use different mixtures & make-up, prosthetics and tools. I also learned how to match colours with different skin types. I figure once im done here i could either go into full scale make-up for films or work freelancing for companys like MAC, ESTEELAUDER, LOREAL.

- My favourite memory of my time at School was the fun i always had with the girls studying there. The course met all my expectations and after i had qualified i managed to obtain a job in an esporta gym. I would rate the training as good and the industry as a whole is rough but fair. Being a member of ray cochrane has helped me as people respect the school and the qualification and have been more inclined to give me an interview because of it.

- My beauty therapy course was both fun and exciting. The tutors made it interesting to learn, even the boring bits, the two years i was there flew by. I am now going on to open my own business and can't wait to have it up and running. i have my 10 year plan also. When I started my course I never thought i'd end up where i am now.
