Sustainable Spa Practitioner Course

Broaden your skill set, qualify as a Sustainable Spa Practitioner

This internationally accredited course provides all wellness practitioners with fundamental, hands-on, knowledge of sustainable business practices and treatment choices for the greater benefit of their industry and clients and, ultimately, for the preservation of our communities and natural environment.

Sustainability is a strategic objective in the wellness industry and the ability to guide and transform any spa or wellness destination to implement such practices in their businesses has, consequently, become a critical skills set.

The spectrum of theoretical material provided in this course, inclusive of a practical workshop, is delivered on four levels, over 11 hours, at the end of which the practitioner will complete an assessment and receive a certificate. The course materials will include the Greenspa Guide as a text book, a licence to use the GSN Greenspa Calculator software as audit tool and template sustainability policies and reports.
