Course Overview
Course Details & Objectives
AMG's Professional Certificate in Spa Body Treatments develops the practical skills and judgement to plan and deliver cosmetic body services for suitable clients. Learn to combine exfoliation, masks, wraps, controlled rinsing and gentle moisturising into a complete treatment while maintaining secure draping and clear communication.
The course includes equipment-specific training with the Vichy shower, HydroCo HydroSpa and iHealth infrared sauna. You will practise preparation, client orientation, monitoring, safe entry and exit, cleaning and records, following current equipment instructions and workplace procedures.
Training includes AMG's 30-minute targeted Vichy body polish, 60-minute full-body exfoliation and hydration treatment, and 90-minute complete Vichy body ritual. These are treatment formats. Gentle moisturising remains cosmetic product application and does not replace massage training.
Who This Course Is For
This course is relevant to beauty, spa and men's grooming professionals seeking to develop body-treatment skills or work with selected spa equipment. Business owners and practitioners introducing these services can explore the preparation, client-care and operational standards involved. AMG will confirm enrolment suitability and entry requirements.
Course Learning Resources
Learning is supported by AMG's 28-module student manual, review questions, decision tables, practical scenarios and readiness checklists. Reference materials include consultation and planning prompts, room opening and closing checklists, protocol quick references and a glossary. Training also uses current equipment instructions and approved workplace procedures.
