The ‘Gold College of Excellence’ award certifies that we have high standards of teaching and consistently supports and collaborates with Ragdale Hall Spa to enhance their student’s employment opportunities beyond their training. Colleges are reviewed annually and must continue to meet Ragdale Hall Spa’s criteria to maintain their ‘College of Excellence’ status.

These colleges will benefit from career presentations, interactive open evenings with treatment demonstrations and opportunities for students to visit and experience the spa’s professional environment.  

Lynne-Marie Benzie, Ragdale Hall Spa Training and Development Supervisor said: “The Chesterfield College Group has been awarded ‘Gold College of Excellence’s’ status due to the tutor’s ongoing dedication to their student’s skills and progression into industry by ensuring all opportunities are embraced by means of continued communication with Ragdale Hall Spa. Each year we offer the students a career presentation along with the opportunity to visit Ragdale Hall Spa.
