One of the biggest insights that has come to light during COVID19 is that when spas closed down, massages were one of the most missed treatments. Massage therapy customers rely on massages to handle physical problems and in many cases are recommended massage therapy by their General Practitioners. Others take massages as a means of selfcare, to relax, destress and take care of mental health.

BECOME A SPA MANAGER
As the world opens up, are you ready to lead? Step up your game and get certified as a VTCT or CIBTAC Spa Manager. Both of these comprehensive programs are well-suited for senior therapists ready to take on the day-to-day operations of a spa manager. It requires more than an understanding of spa modalities as a manager is responsible for their staff who are ultimately the face of the organization. This is directly related to the spa’s ability to attract and retain external customers, yet there are many operational facets that have to run equally as smoothly. This can all be a huge leap if you are not prepared with a total overview of spa management.
Units include in CIBTAC and VTCT Management Courses (online):
- Spa & Salon Management
- Sales Management
- Marketing in the Spa and beauty sector
- Public Relations (PR)
- Quality management of client care
- Human resource management
- Health, safety and security
- Menu Planning
- Standard operating procedures
Both our VTCT and CIBTAC management programs are discounted right now and are reduced from $1,500 to just $950.
Upon completion of your course you will receive VTCT / CIBTAC certification (as appropriate) and Bali BISA certification.
