Inna Connolly CACI Ultimate Clinic, AustraliaThank you to Geraldine and all the team at Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School for providing me with an excellent standard of education and caring about students. The CIDESCO course is suitable for students of any age, I was a mature student at 44 and my daughter Kristina was 18 years old when we trained in 2009. The course was intensive, both practically and theoretically with a constant emphasis on professional standards. Graduating from Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School as a Cidesco therapist gave us an opportunity to change our careers and lifestyle ... We moved to Melbourne in Australia, where I have been running my own skin clinic for the last 3 years and my daughter Kristina currently works in successful skin laser clinic. Its never too late to train, if you are motivated and willing to learn you will love what you do.

Lynda Strain Proprietor, Secret Essence Day Spa, NewryI have great appreciation to both Geraldine and Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School for what I have achieved in the last 11 years in the Beauty Industry. I attended The Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School in Belfast in September 1998. It was a very tough year in which I struggled a lot with the theory but thanks to Geraldine's encouragement and my determination I graduated in July of 1999. I opened my own Beauty Salon 'Secret Essence' at the age of 20 in 2001, followed by Slieve Gullion Springs Day Spa, Mullaghbawn in December 2007 both of which are going from strength to strength. Training at Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School gave me a deeper passion for make-up. So I followed on and completed an Advanced Make-up and a Fashion and Photographic Make-up Diploma.
Orla Mulholland Manager, Therapie Clinic, NewryHaving just graduated from university I knew there was still a part of me that longed to be in the beauty industry, so with not a second thought I enrolled in Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School full time course.

The standard of training I received opened so many doors for me and I know will continue to do so in the future. I could not recommend this school enough. With my love for advanced treatments I now work and manage Therapie Clinic Newry and continue to expand my knowledge in the industry.
Alana Fraser Gerrard InternationalI cannot recommend Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School highly enough to anyone wanting to pursue a serious career in beauty. Geraldine and the school are very highly thought of within the beauty industry and it really has been an honour to say I trained with them. I graduated in 1999 and was amazed at how many doors were opened to me with the standard of the training I received. This gave me amazing confidence in myself and my work, and I soon became assistant manager in a prestigious day spa in Lisburn for the last 13 years, even having a beauty column in a local paper. After getting through to the final of Manicurist of the Year at the british beauty and spa awards held in London, 2009. I was offered the chance to become an educator for Gerrard International, and have since went on to recently become the regional area manager for the company, distributing Jessica nail care and Mii cosmetics throughout the UK.
Berenice Perry Lecturer, Perth AustraliaIn Ireland the name Bronwyn Conroy is synonymous with the beauty industry, and whenever I decided to train as a beauty threapist the Bronwyn Conroy school in Belfast was the obvious choice. From the outset I knew that I had madethe right decision. Geraldine was the consummate professional in everything that she did, and she strives to instil this professionalism in every student that passes through the school. Since graduating in 2000 I have foundthat merely mentioning the fact that I trained at Bronwyn Conroy has opened doors for me. In this time I have owned my own salon and worked as a representative for a leading skin care distribution company. Finally in 2007 I returned to the school as a lecturer. I would have no hesitation in recommeding the school to anyone who wants a career in the beauty industry.

Charlotte Gowdy Proprietor, Eye Candy Beauty, Ballybogey, Ballymoney,I wanted to be a highly skilled beauty therapist with a qualification to be proud of so I chose Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School to do my CIDESCO qualification. Studying in a professional and high tech environment with experienced tutors meant I very quickly gained knowledge in the latest treatments techniques. The course was delivered at a challenging pace, but Geraldine and her team always made sure it was delivered in an enjoyable and friendly way. I was amazed at how quickly I learned and felt confident and competent within a very short time. Because a CIDESCO qualification from BCBS is so highly regarded within the industry, I found employment at a 5 star spa immediately after graduating.
