programme OUTLINE
Hand Picked Hotels works in partnership with Armonia Training Academy, who help us to train and guide our apprentices with regular offsite training, one-to-one communication, help and advice.
Every spa apprentice is allocated a mentor within the spa team whose role is to provide additional supervision and support each apprentice’s learning and development.
The apprenticeship’s duration is 24 months, starting in Year one with a Level 2 qualification followed by the Level 3 qualification in Year two. The Apprenticeship programme includes off-site training, so independent travel will be required. Travel will be paid and accommodation is provided and paid for by the company.
