Working as a spa therapist gives the opportunity to practice a number of different disciplines - common options would include offering detox treatment, Reiki, Indian head massage, to name but a few. Let thefitmap.co.uk be your first choice to guide you through your training and beyond.
There are no set entry requirements needed to become a spa therapist as training is typically offered on an individual basis for the particular therapies. However, it is possible to study for an NVQ in spa therapy.
This is a Level 3 course, and though there are no set requirements for studying at this level, it is recommended that you study Level 2 Beauty Therapy first to achieve the basic skills required of a spa therapist.

The Level 3 Spa Therapy NVQ covers a whole range of areas, including:
Health & safety
Promoting products or services to clients
