The prestigious spa training organisation, Comité International d'Esthétique et de Cosmétologie (CIDESCO) is launching a spa management training course, which will start in August or September of this year.

“The education programme is the only International Beauty and Spa Management Diploma which is marked by examiners from all around the world,” Anna-Cari Gund, president of CIDESCO, told Spa Business. “It has been designed by trainers from every continent, combining skills required by a world class spa.”

The diploma is only available through CIDESCO-accredited schools – which teaches the management syllabus, designed to enable students to make the most of their business plans.

The qualification is reserved exclusively for graduates of CIDESCO Beauty or Spa Therapy Diploma holders in order to guarantee the quality of the results-driven education programme. The course is designed to cover topics which are not covered during initial studies.

“It will give graduates the continued professional development they require to pursue a new career path,” Gund added.

While the course offers a flexible schedule, Gund warns that the diploma is not just for anyone.

“It is for the ‘crème de la crème’ in the beauty and spa industry - the CIDESCO-qualified therapists,” she concluded.
