Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the diploma in massage course 5 months?

A: Our aim isn't to get you in and out of college as quickly as possible — it's to get you prepared and confident to enter the world as a fully fledged massage therapist.

Becoming a good therapist takes more than learning a set of techniques. You need time and experience to develop your practical skills, build confidence and find your own unique style of massage.

By spreading the training over 5 months, you have time to practise between sessions, gain experience and gradually grow in confidence.

Q: I'm interested in the full course, but I don't know if I'll like massage — and it's a big investment. Can I try it first?

A: Absolutely! We run Introduction to Massage Days, giving you the opportunity to get a real taste of what it's like to learn massage with us before committing to the full course.

You'll learn some of the fundamental techniques from the full course and get a feel for whether massage is right for you.

And there's an added bonus: if you go on to enrol on the full course after your Introduction Day, we'll take £50 off your course fees.

Q: I have a full-time job. Can I do the 5-month course alongside it?

A: Yes! Most of our students complete the course alongside their regular jobs.

We run some courses over weekends, while others generally take place on three Wednesdays each month.

Talk to us about your schedule and we'll help you find a course that works for you.

Q: How many hours a week will I need to study?

A: We recommend allowing approximately 3–10 hours of study each week, although this will vary depending on your previous knowledge and experience.

Your home study includes anatomy and physiology coursework assignments, case studies and revision for your final anatomy and physiology exam.

You'll also need to complete practical massage case studies on friends and family, giving you valuable experience and helping you become more confident with your massage skills.

Q: I need to complete 30 case studies. What if I don't know 30 people I can massage?

A: Don't worry — most students don't know 30 different people they can massage!

You can massage the same person up to three times, and the massages you give to fellow students as part of your course can also count towards your case studies.

We also have a dedicated WhatsApp group for current and past students, where you can ask if anyone would like a massage and connect with people who have been through the same process.

You'll find that building up your case studies is much easier than it first sounds!

Q: Can I pay for the course in instalments?

A: Yes!  You can divide your course fees into four monthly payments.

Just let us know that you'd like to pay in instalments and we'll send you all the information you need.

Q: Do I need any massage experence to do the 5 month course?

A: No, the course is designed to train you up from zero!

Q: Will I be able to start working as a massage therapist after the course?

A: Absolutley! As well as teaching you massage itself, we also have a 'massage business' module where we teach you how to navigate the different paths into your personal massage career after the course ends.

Q: I'm already a qualified massage therapist. Do you offer training to refresh or develop my skills?

A: Yes. We offer postgraduate courses for therapists who are already trained, whether you're looking to refresh your skills after some time away from massage or develop your existing practice.

Our postgraduate training includes Deep Tissue Massage and Chair Massage workshops, which can be completed in a day, as well as our more in-depth Sports & Structural Rebalancing Diploma.

These courses are a great way to expand your skills, refresh your knowledge and add new treatments to your practice.
