Question 1
1) What is the difference between the 5 day Therapeutic Massage Certificate course and 10 day Therapeutic Massage Diploma program?

The 5 day Therapeutic Massage Certificate Course is a comprehensive course that definitely allows people to practice after doing the course, but the 10 day Therapeutic Massage Diploma course involves a lot more practical experience as well as covers in more depth subjects such as aromatherapy and reflexology, as well as theory topics such as meridian theory.

Question 2
How can I learn to be a professional massage therapist in 5 or 10 days when most other schools require at least 6 months or even 2 years?

We teach the essence of what it takes to be an excellent massage therapist. We only teach what we have found to be useful after years of practicing. For example many colleges have a much heavier emphasis on rote learning latin anatomical terms than we do. We believe that practitioners should speak to clients in a way that the client understands rather than copying the Western orthodox model of patient client relationships where the health practitioner actually disempowers the patient's critical role in the healing process by speaking to them in a jargon filled language that the patient doesn't understand.

By minimizing the teaching of anatomy during classroom hours we are able to save a lot of our student's valuable time and money. Another way is that we teach a combination of the best techniques form many different styles of massage and teach advanced massage techniques from Day 1 rather than drawing out a course by teaching very basic techniques for a long time and then gradually introducing advanced techniques. We teach you both beginners and advanced techniques and concepts from the start. We are able to do this easily because of the fact that when we teach we speak about advanced techniques and concepts in an easy to understand way. This is the gift of a good teacher. They are able to impart a lot of important information and experience in a short period of time.

You can also legally practice in the following states of the US (see also our section on massage laws): Alaska, California, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wyoming.

Question 4
Are there any extra costs associated with your massage courses?

No, there are no other required costs and our course notes are included as part of the course. However we do have high quality massage tables, charts, videos and books for sale at the course that are optional extras for students to purchase.

Question 5
If I am a slow learner how will I be able to retain all the information presented in the course?

We have very comprehensive course notes and optional videos available to refresh your knowledge and the course provides ample time for revision and lots of practice.

Question 6
Are there any written exams to be completed. Does it matter if English is my second language?

In the 5 day Certificate course all assessment is practically orientated. There is a small theoretical test in the Diploma program that covers topics such as contraindication, hygiene, professional codes of conduct etc. The courses are primarily hands on with the vast majority of time spent massaging, being massaged or watching the teacher’s demonstration. Therefore only minimal English language skills are required.

Question 7
What happens if I fail the assessment?

You will be invited to re-attend the course at a later date.

Question 8
Is there much work available for massage practitioners?

The type of massage we teach you will set you apart from most other average massage therapists. Our style of massage teaches you to actually fix many of peoples' chronic problems and injuries from their source therefore there will be no shortage of work for you because it is still very rare to find massage therapists who know how to massage like this and once a person has had a massage from one of our graduates they very rarely will want to go back to a different therapist.

Question 9
Are there any requirements for these courses, e.g. completion of High School? What about age restrictions?

There are no educational requirements. We have students as young as 16 and as old as 75. The most important qualities are a caring nature, a willingness to help people and a good sense of touch (which we help you develop if you don’t already have it).
