Lynsey Lyons a BTEC Level 3 Beauty Therapy student was selected from her cohort to travel to Thailand to study Thai massage for two weeks in Bangkok's' award winning Sukhothai Business School.
Following a successful presentation outlining how she would benefit from the trip, she was accompanied by Coron Zammito, Curriculum Manager for Hair and Beauty and students and staff from Aylesbury and Barnet College in February 2013.
'It really was an amazing experience of a lifetime visiting Thailand to study Thai massage. I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge about Thai massage in a 60 hour recognised course. This included the Anatomy, Body stretching, Ethics, traditional Thai pharmaceutics and Herbal preparation of Thai massage,' said Lynsey.
The trip was organised by a company called World City Links, a partnership organisation that develops relationships between the world cities of London and Beijing.
Coron Zammito also took part in the learning and said: "I enjoyed the Thai massage course and hope to teach it here as a course next year. Thailand is a fantastic place and we managed to live a Thai lifestyle, eating their food, sharing their college and meeting some really wonderful Thai people".
"Lynsey was great and she was a shining example who represented Harrow College with professionalism," Coron added.
