Global online spa management course, Spa Business Education, has achieved accredited status to become an official CIDESCO school. Part of the world-leading spa and wellness consultancy group, Raison d’Etre, Spa Business Education is a comprehensive online spa management course, offering its students complete training in the spa and wellness sector.

With its new CIDESCO accredited status, all future Spa Business Education students will not only be able to complete their Spa Management certificate but have the opportunity to earn a CIDESCO Beauty & Spa Management Diploma. This opportunity is also given to the graduate students of Spa Business Education as well, who can now take the CIDESCO exam and earn the Certificate.

Course mentors Nikos Kouremenos and Michael Simonato also took part in the examination, qualifying to become CIDESCO examiners for all future exams. Speaking of the new accredited status, program manager Nikos Kouremenos said: “It is great news to become a fully accredited CIDESCO school. Not only will this boost our Spa Management course but offer accreditation that many of our students, both past, current and prospective, were asking for. We look forward to continuing to work with CIDESCO and providing this additional learning path and valuable accreditation for spa professionals.”

Celebrating its success, eight Spa Business Education graduates were offered the opportunity to undertake the CIDESCO qualification as the first students to do so. With all students successfully passing their course, several students provided a testimonial of their experience:


“I am extremely grateful to Raison d’Etre for this opportunity, also for the fact that they never lose connection with their alumni. The whole experience that took almost two months was very exciting, as well as beneficial because of some new assignments and knowledge that we needed to gain over a short period of time to pass the theoretical and practical examinations. Finally, I am very happy to become a CIDESCO certified Spa Manager. I feel now more confident and I am sure it will boost my career further.”

“Being part of the first group of candidates to complete a CIDESCO certificate at Raison d’Etre Spa Education has been a valuable experience. I have learned a lot about general management in the Beauty and Spa industry. Moreover, I have been given a framework to use and apply in all situations with regard to spa management, spa activities, and creating an efficient spa environment. The study material covered a wide range of topics, and in the practical examination, we were challenged with some great questions.”
