India-based spa and wellness institution Orient Spa Academy (OSA), has added a new Spa Management & Operations Certificate programme to its curriculum.
The course has been created specifically for professionals seeking management positions in the spa industry, but will also cater for BAMS and Naturopathy doctors looking for career progression to embark in the international spa market.
The launch of the new management programme is part of OSA's strategy to benefit from the booming Indian spa sector.
In December 2010, Jane Crebbin-Bailey, partner of spa consultancy HCB Associates, predicted that India will require 20,000 new spa therapists by 2012.
