Looking to set yourself apart from the competition? We’ve got some good news for newly qualified spa and beauty therapists – a new ‘finishing school’ has opened in Putney. The ARK Academy, run by skincare specialists ARK Age Aware, will help to fully prepare therapists for the working environment – equipping them with a variety of professional and commercial skills. We think it’s an inspired idea…
Wondering why a finishing school is necessary? Sara Wilce, Director of the Academy, says: ‘I’ve spent the last 12 years of my career trying to recruit commercially viable therapists and it is getting increasingly difficult to do so, with lack of technique and confidence in massage in particular.
‘The idea for the ARK Academy arose from that struggle and will allow newly qualified therapists to improve their techniques, gain that all important confidence and set them on the path to a fulfilling career.’ Sounds pretty good to us…
Training packages at the Academy will include the development of skills such as management, reception training, customer service provision, team leadership and refresher courses for therapists who are re-entering the industry. Advanced courses in massage are also available, as is support for businesses retailing ARK products – so you needn’t panic if you haven’t quite mastered the finishing touches yet.
