Why take CIBTAC Beauty Therapy Diploma

The Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (CIBTAC) has been producing beauty, complementary & spa therapy graduates of the highest calibre since 1977.

The CIBTAC Professional Beauty Therapy Diploma is a level 3 internationally recognised beauty therapy diploma designed so that graduates become fully qualified beauty therapists who are salon ready and able to explore the wide beauty career path of their choice.

From September 2022, this course was replaced by VTCT Level 2 and 3 beauty therapy combi course at Ray Cochrane Aesthetics Academy. VTCT beauty diplomas are OFQUAL accredited and recognised in the beauty industry.

However, if you are still interested in completing the CIBTAC Beauty Therapy Diploma, you can enrol at our sister school – The London School of Beauty & Make-Up. The school is located at 18-19 Long Lane, London EC1A 9PL.

Testimonials

It was 7 months of hard work but worth every second of it. I made so many friends which I’m sure will be with me for life. Everyone at Ray Cochrane makes you feel special and part of a family and you only have to look at the reunion parties to see that even after so many years, graduates remain close with each other. Like everyone in my class, it hardly took any time to get a job. I’m working at luxury Health Club and because of my training, I honestly find the work easy. I’m looking forward to what the future holds for me but I’m confident that no matter what happens because I have this qualification in hand and with my skills, I can work my way up and be the very best.

_Roxy Ward, London

I would highly recommend The Ray Cochrane Beauty School. They are very professional and made me feel welcome straight away. They have helped me every step of the way in getting my CIBTAC diploma and because of that diploma and it being internationally recognised I felt I was ready to make a fresh start in another country and 3 years in my life is incredible. I’m so happy and I’m glad I’m a Beauty Therapist because it’s given me this life.

I studied for my Cibtac, CIDESCO, laser and IPL qualifications at this school. All the teachers were amazing. From the content of the lectures to the one to one care they took during practicals. I could not thank them all enough for the amount they have tought me in such a short time. I left feeling confident to enter the industry and to see where life takes me :)
