CIDESCO announces partnership with WorldSkills
POSTED 17 Jan 2019 . BY Lauren Heath-Jones
CIDESCO has reviewed WorldSkills Description of Roles to ensure that it is truly reflective of the global and spa industries
CIDESCO, the standards setter for the global spa and beauty industries, has announced a new partnership with WorldSkills, a global not-for-profit that promotes vocational education and training.

As part of the deal CIDESCO has assisted WorldSkills in the review of its Standards Specification for its Beauty Therapy for Worldskills competition.

Taking place in Kazan later this year, the competition is aimed at beauty therapists with a Level 2 Beauty Diploma qualification who are working towards Level 3/Level 4 qualification in Beauty Therapy. Contestants are judged on their professional demeanour, safe working practices, professional attitude, client interaction, level of skill and dexterity, time management and working methods.

Additionally, CIDESCO has also reviewed WorldSkills Description of Roles to ensure that it is truly reflective of the global and spa industries, and has been included in its Technical Description, to acknowledge its contribution.
