What employers look forFrom the Steward / Spa Therapist guide
Captains and chief stews hire people who are fully qualified first. A Level 3 diploma from CIBTAC, CIDESCO, ITEC or VTCT, backed by hotel or day spa experience, counts for more than yacht time. Stewarding experience helps, but plenty get their first role straight from a resort spa with STCW and ENG1 in hand. Interviews often include a trial treatment on the chief stew. What gets you the job is clean technique, a calm manner and being willing to fold laundry at midnight after four massages.
