Spa Director Training
The competition in the business world is such that the people with
good educations are usually those who succeed.
Dr. Kellogg
Whether you already own and manage your own day spa, manage a resort spa facility, or are interested in becoming a part of this growing industry, this 150-hour training will give you the skills needed to be in the forefront of this expanding and exciting field. The intent of the Spa Director Staff at ASIS is to provide the space and education necessary for our students to become conscientious and knowledgeable spa directors. ASIS believes that it is valuable for a spa director to have a kinesthetic understanding of the treatments offered, a concept of marketing trends, and compassion for humanity. In this education, we explore design, marketing, staff development, movement, and communication skills in an awareness-oriented setting. This training takes place within two one-week sessions. Topics will include Marketing, Spa Amenities and Philosophies, Massage Therapy and Hydrotherapy Treatments, Spa Design, Spa Management, Human Resource Development, Communication and Leadership Skills, and Community Building.
