CompareEvery course, one table
One table: every course and programme across the Institute of Spa Management, the Global Institute and the International Institute's pathways — level, format, hours, fee, who it is for, and the practical-hours requirement.
Three institutes, one network, one register. This table puts every course and programme side by side so you can see the ladder: pathways and entry courses here and on ISM, the management certificate and diploma, the executive programmes on the Global Institute.
