Questions & Answers
You need to have a professional qualification in full body massage to undertake this course. This course is also perfect for any massage therapists who need a CPD course or as a refresher course for practicing therapists who want to feel more confident in their abilities and also learn additional techniques.
For one-to-one solo courses, either our teacher or yourself will need to provide a massage model to work upon so that you can learn the therapy techniques.

Yes, there is time to learn all you need to know. And that’s because you'll receive all of the teacher’s attention. You will be taught a complete therapy treatment routine for delivering to your clients. If there is any time remaining towards the end of the day you would have the option for going over some of what you’ve learned in the day. We also gift you free access to our tutor led training video for this therapy so you can refer to it at any time whilst you continue to practice from home.
You will learn the same practical skills as you would learn on a longer course. The main difference between a long course and a short course is that you'll need to practice the treatment routine upon friends and family, in order to perfect the techniques till you feel super-confident. This will be easy to do, using your manual and (where available) our on-line tutorial videos for further assistance after your practical training.
You're always welcome to return and attend only the practical training again in order to refresh your practical skills. This is known as a refresher course and it allows you to brush up on the techniques you have learned with us. Refresher courses are only available to students who have previously completed their course with us, and substantial discounts are offered.
No, this is a Diploma course. Diploma courses are also known as ‘short courses’ or ‘fast-track training’. However, the treatment techniques you'll learn are similar, and in some cases more extensive than on a level 3 course.
In most situations you don't need a level 3 qualification in order to deliver this therapy professionally. However, some employers might want you to have a Level 3 qualification, and some London Borough Councils may specify it as a requirement for selling you a licence to practice in their borough.
You will be provided with your course manual in PDF format, and once you’ve read it you’ll be ready to complete your on-line test. This is a simple, multiple choice test with 45 questions. Our helpful Training Journey videos walk you through what you need to bring, and how you need to prepare, so that you are all set up to have a great time.
Yes, we do! And they are totally FREE! These videos are great for you to use a week or 2 before your course practical so you can see what you’ll be learning, and then as a reminder of what you’ve learned, after you’ve completed your course.
Theory & Practical
This is the background and theory that you study from home and then complete an online test paper before attending your practical training. It is easily completed with between 8-12 hours of study time. For some people it may take a little longer.
