No tedious travelling to school / No awkward hours

MASSAGE COURSE FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Learn in the comfort of your home

Recognition

The content of this course is similar to the one we have been teaching in-house since 1993 for government recognised qualification (ITEC). Students who subsequently went on to sit the ITEC examination all succeeded. We had a 100% pass rate. Please note that ITEC no longer recognises correspondence courses and as such, we cannot promise you an ITEC examination after the course.

This course is to prepare you for a subsequent qualifying course or for you to learn Massage for Friends or Family.

How will it be studied?

There are two distinct areas of study in Massage:

1. The theory of Massage - this can be learnt in the comfort of your own home
2. The practice of Massage - Here is how we will teach you:

• You are able to see the strokes again and again - in slow motion or freeze frame if your playback equipment allows it
• Once you have practiced and know the sequence, you may visit us so we can iron out any problem you may have.
• A charge of £45 per hour is levied for this and if you have done your home work properly, only a couple visits are necessary
• We supply you with a video and you can play the sequence and practice as often as you like in the comfort of your own home

I am often asked why our courses are so cheap. The answer is that I am making best use of modern technology with sophisticated software to present the information to you and I have automated your test correction. The information I give you in the course material is so complete that I get very few queries from students. Why should I charge more?

I have seen similar courses sold for £400 to £800. Outrageous!
