Hide-The Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School has been at the forefront of beauty therapy training in Ireland and is renowned for the quality and professionalism of its students. The high esteem in which the Bronwyn Conroy Beauty School is held insures that our students are much sought after by employers within the beauty industry and it is no surprise that many of our past pupils have gone on to open highly successful beauty salons and beauty schools not only in Ireland but also across Europe, USA and as far afield as Australia and New Zealand.
Our College is focused on producing Therapists who are ready for the work-place, not requiring further training or work experience. We do this by providing an opportunity for our students to “work” in a full commercial Salon environment. This is not an option but a compulsory part of our course. We now know from experience that this works. The student gains invaluable work- experience and confidence for over 8 months of the 10 month course.
This is an un-rivalled commercial experience that the Bronwyn Conroy College offer and has resulted in the development of many new commercial relationships with recruitment companies, Salons, Hotels and Spa’s throughout the Country requesting our students. This guarantee of career opportunities is the result of the excellent training and consistently high standards that we deliver.
This is not an easy course, it is highly demanding and it is only when the student starts the course that they realise how challenging it can be. It is for this reason that we insist on meeting with anyone who is interested in enrolling to ensure that this is the right choice for them. Our Tutors have all gained many years of commercial experience and in some cases, are still working in the industry. This ensures that the teaching is up-to-date and fresh.
Please read through the following for all the Initial information about our course. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us at the school, ideally make an appointment to come and visit us and see for yourself. I am sure there are many questions to be answered before you decide to set out on what we believe is one of the most interesting and rewarding careers of all.

Jennifer’s role will include visits with our CIDESCO Students throughout their term time with us. She will also be the main contributor to our School Blog and is involved with advanced Skin Course development on an on-going basis. Jennifer’s professional approach to skin and to her role as an Educator within the Beauty Industry was an ideal fit for our collaboration. Jennifer’s passion is education and The Bronwyn Conroy Brand was her first choice for a partnership.

The ESPA Spa in Powerscourt Hotel, which is managed by a Bronwyn Conroy Therapist, have offered us a wonderful opportunity for one of our CIDESCO students.

Environ Skin Care
We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Environ Skin Care Brand. This relationship offers our CIDESCO students a further 4 days training in the advanced Skin care treatments offered with this amazing brand. Upon completion of their CIDESCO Course they can also participate in a further one-week post grad training programme to move their skills to the next level. Once again this is exclusive to a Private Beauty School in Dublin and ensures that our students leave being qualified in the use of 2 world renowned brands, Dermalogica and Environ. These products are introduced when the students are about to commence their College Salon hours. This offers the students the opportunity to offer “real” salon treatments that can be used to gain confidence but most of all are weeks of real life work-experience whilst still in College!
We have now also added the jane Iredale makeup range to our training. This is another of the IIAA skin care brands and includes 1 day of makeup training from the IIAA to our Full-Time Students.
Study Mentor
We have this year, added a study mentoring service working with Mr Tony Bellew of One2one mentoring. Tony works with our students throughout the year, starting on their first day, to assist them in applying structure to their studies. Tony re-visits several times throughout the school term to help the students with any issues they may be having in organising their study routines. He is also available on a one-to-one basis, at a separate fee, should the student require further help and assistance.
