What employers look forFrom the Massage Therapist guide
Captains and chief stews hire people with a Level 3 or higher massage qualification such as ITEC, CIBTAC or VTCT, plus two or more years in a five-star hotel, destination spa or cruise ship spa. Steiner and OneSpaWorld cruise contracts are a common route in. They want calm, discreet people who can read a room and who will not mind picking up a hoover when the treatment book is empty.
