Spa Managers

High School

Many spa managers have prior experience as spa attendants. Knowledge of spa treatments and services is useful for overseeing spa operations and employees. Take high school courses in anatomy, physiology, biology, and chemistry. Health courses will teach you about nutrition, fitness, and other issues of importance to the health-conscious patrons of resorts and spas. Business, math, and English classes are important for honing management and communication skills. Many spas offer treatment for both the body and the mind, so be sure to take some psychology courses to learn about the history of treating depression, anxiety, and other mental and emotional problems. Also take computer classes.
