2 2 WEST LANCASHIRE COLLEGE COURSE GUIDE WEST LANCASHIRE COLLEGE WORKED FOR ME WELCOME TO WEST LANCASHIRE COLLEGE MISHA HORDER BEAUTY THERAPY LEVEL 3 GRADUATE SPA MANAGER, MERE SPA AND GOLF RESORT, KNUTSFORD I studied Beauty Therapy Level 3 at West Lancashire College. I will always remember the support I received from the tutors; they were all friendly and helpful and had excellent links to the beauty industry. After completing my course I gained employment and worked in salons and spas around the Liverpool and Formby areas as a Beauty Therapist. I have since worked my way up to my current role as Spa Manager at the luxury Spa and Gold Resort, The Mere in Knutsford, Cheshire. As a Spa Manager I deal with the overall day to day running of the spa, including staff training, interacting with clients and ensuring all stock levels are kept up to date. In the future I hope to gain as much experience as possible in the industry and possibly move into teaching. I believe with the right support and motivation you can go as far as you want West Lancashire College worked for me and it can work for you too.
