Cleopatra Beauty Institute (CBI)announces its April 2008 courses

Beginning in April 2008, the courses will provide the perfect platform for the next generation of hair dressers and spa managers to make their mark in a region that is fast becoming a beacon for the health, beauty and wellness industry.

CBI's 2008 courses offer an eclectic mix of intensive spa management courses, hair dressing courses at the diploma and advanced levels and a variety of holistic and skin care courses. "As part of a group that has set new parameters for the beauty and wellness industry in the region, it is our responsibility to ensure that the next generation continues this fine tradition" said Ms. Diane Khoshkhoo, the Principal of Cleopatra's Beauty Institute.

"Our 2008 courses offer prospective students the perfect mix of theory and practice and we are sure that they will go on to make a name for themselves in the largest and most lucrative health and wellness markets in the world" she added.

The UAE and the region have seen numerous spas and wellness centres mushrooming in the recent past, opening out many career avenues. The CBI Spa Management Courses provide students with a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of Spa operations, giving them the ideal foundation to enter this dynamic industry. Besides the practical aspect of a Spa, the students learn the essential procedures involved in managing a successful Spa from the financial and marketing aspects down to stock management.

Also on offer in 2008 are City and Guilds Hairdressing Courses at both the Diploma and Advanced level. These globally recognised courses cover every aspect of hair dressing from cutting to styling down to the more specialised techniques involved in cutting and perming. The courses are available full and part time, and those successfully completing the courses are awarded internationally recognised diplomas by City & Guilds of London.

Also commencing in April are the internationally recognised CIBTAC courses, including Massage, Hot Stone, Reflexology and Aromatherapy. These offer professional training for those wishing to make a career in the lucrative well being industry.

The CIDESCO International Diploma, considered to be the most prestigious diploma attainable within the health and beauty industry, is another popular long-term course offered exclusively at CBI. This one year course is designed for candidates looking to study cosmetology and skin care.

The course provides training in all aspects of Aesthetics, Body Therapy and Electrolysis and the Diploma is awarded by the prestigious Comite International D'Esthetique et de Cosmetologie of Switzerland. The comprehensive training module covers up-to-date face and body electrical appliances and the Swedish Massage, as well as facial, manicure, pedicure, waxing and other beauty related procedures.
