Testimonials
We have worked with thousands of amazing learners
“I have had such a wonderful experience as a model for the trainees at Cosmetic College! I have visited numerous times for facials, which are always incredibly professional and leave my skin feeling amazing.I recently tried a chemical peel for the first time; it was very gentle on my face but delivered fantastic results, leaving my skin noticeably brighter and clearer. I have also had wood therapy messages, great benefits for Cellulite-reduction, smoother skin. The trainees have all been friendly, polite and professional. The supervising teacher Davie Ivy is always extremely informative and supportive throughout. They welcome questions and provide insightful recommendations and after-care advice. The treatments offer fantastic discounts to models which is a huge plus, making it easy to maintain my skincare routine while staying on budget. They even do tattoo, removals! Highly recommend for professional treatments at a great value.”

“I completed a laser course here last year and have just finished an injectables course last week. I absolutely loved both courses from start to finish. Charmelle is incredibly knowledgeable, straight to the point, and made sure every minute of the training was valuable. I gained a lot of medical knowledge and hands-on experience from her. Charlotte was also fantastic. She has such a positive energy, very professional, and pays great attention to detail. She was always supportive and helpful throughout the course. I would highly recommend this college to anyone looking to train in aesthetics. Thank you to both Charmelle and Charlotte for such a great learning experience. I’m already looking forward to doing another course here in the near future!”

The online training was rich in depth and included more that I expected which was great as it was a refreshing training. The practice was done with Charlotte's support and it was lovely. The atmosphere was great, she was patient and answered all the questions. Even left room for debate which was greatly appreciated as we shared knowledge from our experience as well. Thank you for everything. I will see you soon”

“I had an amazing learning experience with Charlotte my tutor for my vtct leve5 . She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout the course. She explained both theory and practical aspects very clearly, making it easy to understand even advanced treatments. Her calm and patient approach really helped build my confidence, and all her tips and techniques made a big difference in improving my practical skills. I felt supported at every step, and her constructive feedback helped me refine my abilities and deliver treatments more effectively. The Cosmetic College class sizes were small, which meant I received lots of individual attention, focus, and support. This made a huge difference in my learning experience, as I was able to ask questions freely and get the help I needed at every stage. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel confident working as an aesthetic practitioner. I’m really glad I chose this college and had Charlotte as my assessor. Highly recommended! Choosing this college coming from far was my best decision I made. Thankyou again for all support ❤️”

“I recently completed the Level 4 Laser hair removal and IPL course at Cosmetic College. Coming from a career outside the beauty industry, I initially found the course quite daunting. However, the theory was delivered clearly and thoroughly and the practical sessions gave us plenty of opportunities to put what we had learnt into practice This really helped me to build my knowledge and skills throughout the duration of course. Davie was an exceptional tutor. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and was supportive throughout. Her patience and guidance helped improve my confidence significantly, particularly during the practical sessions. She took the time to provide constructive feedback when needed as well as reassurance throughout. I am so grateful for her support and expertise. I would highly recommend Cosmetic College to anyone looking to gain their Level 4 qualification in Laser hair and IPL, particularly if they are new to the industry like me!”

“I had the pleasure of completing my lymphatic drainage massage and wood therapy course at Cosmetic College, and the training far exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth and professional from start to finish. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was my tutor, Davie. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in her field, but she delivered the course with such passion and energy that it genuinely inspired everyone in the room. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly loves what they do and is so dedicated to sharing that with others. I’m so grateful to Davie for making it such an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. I’ll definitely be returning to the college and I’ll 100% be requesting Davie as my tutor again! 🤣”

“The course I did with Cosmetic College -VCVT Level 2 Facial Massage and Skincare was exceptionally enjoyable and informative. I got hands on experience that I can now confidently use in my future endeavours. Davie is an amazing teacher and the best teacher I’ve ever had, you can see her passion for what she does and she is extremely knowledgeable, patient , with years of industry experience. I also liked that it’s only a small group of 4 so it felt like a personalised learning experience. I would definitely recommend Cosmetic College and Davie. I’ve gone on to book my Level 3 with them and I’m looking to book more courses in the future”

““My training at Cosmetic College, London, for my Level 3 pathway has been the best experience of my career. Davie is a genuine find. She is an incredible human being, a brilliant educator, and an expert in aesthetics. She teaches advanced facial techniques on the clinic floor with endless patience and takes real time to help you build your practical confidence with the best constructive feedback that makes you feel capable. That high standard is maintained throughout the academy. Management, teachers and admin staff have been very welcoming, organized and always available to help with scheduling or any personal needs from the very beginning. It’s so rare to find a team that is truly dedicated to your success. Learning from Davie and the amazing staff was an empowering milestone and I will definitely be back for more trainings!”
