“We’re thrilled to launch these unique spa courses,” says ACHS Chief Strategy Officer Erika Yigzaw. “These dynamic courses are beautifully designed to give students an interactive and immersive education in the spa management industry with a focus on holistic protocols. Even more, we’ve chosen expert faculty with vast knowledge and experience in distance learning, holistic health, and the spa industry.”
