Update: EU Asia Invest Programme
One of the main activities of the EU Asia-Invest project is the development of the following information materials: the Manual of Spa Operations and Safety and the Training Manual for Spa Therapists.
The Manual of Spa Operations and Safety aims to help the spas from the four countries internationalise their operation. The manual is meant to ensure consistency in content and method in what is being practiced across the region.
The Training Manual for Spa Therapists objective is to help the CIBTAC therapists/trainers conduct the in-house training for their colleagues on European techniques of Body Massage which they have learned from their CIBTAC classes. The manual is meant to ensure consistency in content and method in what is being taught across the region and will be used as a guide and reference during the Train the Trainers class which the CIBTAC therapists/trainers will undergo .
These two manuals are currently being reviewed and pre-tested by the four spa associations.
