SPA PRACTITIONER PROGRAM

The West Coast College of Massage (WCCMT) "Work and Learn" Spa program is a 700 hour spa program designed to offer prospective students the opportunity to obtain spa training and still continue to work during the day Monday to Friday. The "Work and Learn" program is offered on evenings and all day Saturday & Sunday for a duration of eight months. It was developed in consultation with some of BC’s leading spas to ensure our students were learning the things that would put them at the top of the list when looking for employment in a spa.
