Testimonials
I have studied CIDESCO course at The Coogan Bergin College in 2008-2009. It was a complete change of my career from Law to Beauty Therapy so I was determine to find a good suitable college in London or Dublin. I personally went to all the Beauty colleges I had short listed to get a feel and speak to tutors. I chose Coogan Bergin because of the warm friendliness of Sonia who is the vice-principal, the professionalism and generally good feel about the place. Mind you I visited it on a rare sunny day in Dublin:-))
I was told that the college had a very impressive success rate in passing exams. I must say I have never regretted my choice! It is not an easy course to study, that's why it is important to do it where you feel comfortable and where people want to help you to achieve your best. Human touch and empathy are also important!
I would say to all prospective students what I better understand now:"study hard and enjoy it because time passes so quickly. You will meet different people - students, tutors and clients...try to get on- it is also a good training for our people related vocation! You are in good hands so do your bit and flourish!" Good luck;-))

I am CIDESCO qualified through Coogan Bergin. Experience gained here during the course is invaluable to me now in a highly competitive marketplace. Skills learnt during the course equip a student immediately to function in the professional world. Hand pressure & technique have proven a key to commercial success as have other areas of the course.
Electrolysis & make-up artistry plus both qualifications (CIBTAC & CIDESCO) provide a person with immediate access to employment or self-employment
I am delighted to recommend all areas of the course & the invaluable expertise of all staff

Coogan-Bergin was recommended to me by many professionals in the Beauty Industry.
I visited other colleges and it was clear to me that Coogan Bergin would be my number one choice. I really enjoyed the course. Time goes quickly and it's important to keep up with the practical and theory. The standard of teaching practice and guidance is excellent and I always felt confident going into my exams. The college has recently been refurbished which makes it a beautiful up to date environment to study in.
