Level 3 Beauty Therapy students recently enjoyed an inspiring industry visit to The Lensbury, the luxury resort set on the banks of the River Thames in Teddington. The visit offered students valuable insight into professional spa environments and career opportunities within the wellness and hospitality sector.
During the visit, students explored potential employment pathways at The Lensbury Club and took part in an informative presentation delivered by members of the resort’s team. They were given a guided tour of the spa and leisure facilities, gaining first‑hand experience of high‑end treatment spaces, client care standards and the day‑to‑day operation of a luxury wellness venue. Students also had the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds, adding to their understanding of the holistic guest experience.
Grace Klos‑Lim, Lecturer in Beauty Therapy, said:
“This visit gave our students a fantastic opportunity to experience a luxury spa environment and understand the expectations of working within the industry. Seeing professional standards in action and speaking directly with staff really helps to bring their learning to life and builds confidence as they prepare for their future careers.”
The experience supported students’ curriculum learning and highlighted the wide range of career pathways available within the beauty, wellness and spa industries, reinforcing the importance of industry engagement alongside practical training in college.
