Full-Time Professional Diplomas
Our flagship full-time qualification is the 12-month Hairdressing Diploma, priced at €8,400 with 30 weekly training hours and upcoming intakes on 1 March 2027 and 6 September 2027. This comprehensive course prepares beginners for junior salon roles through in-depth modules covering precision cutting, chemical colour theory, salon floor service, and foundational business operations.
For those focused specifically on classic and modern men’s grooming, the 6-month Barbering Certificate costs €4,600 and begins on 11 January 2027. Both courses require an equipment kit fee of €420 and a €300 deposit upon acceptance, with remaining tuition payable across three instalments.

Specialist Certificate Courses
For students pursuing focused beauty careers, Kesho College delivers two modular part-time certificate courses at our Lindmoor campus. The 4-month Makeup Artistry Certificate costs €3,200 and begins on 8 February 2027, covering facial anatomy, skin prep, bridal styles, photographic balance, and theatre character work.
The 3-month Nail Technology Certificate costs €2,400, starting on 19 April 2027, with detailed training in natural nail care, extensions, cuticle work, and sanitation protocols. Both certificate pathways require a €300 deposit to secure a chair, with small cohorts capped at 14 learners ensuring constant practical feedback from lead tutors.
