Questions and answers about our home learning courses

How does home learning differ from an on-site (attendance) course?
During an on-site (attendance) course you will be instructed on techniques. You will be supervised and assessed as you both give and receive a full treatment. There is a short written test and upon successful completion your diploma will be awarded at the end of the day.

A home learning course offers you the opportunity to study the techniques at home using the course manual and access to the online videos of techniques with help and advice as required via email. A test and case study are required and your diploma is awarded upon successful completion of the course.

Can I practice professionally with this Diploma Course?
Yes. Once you have been awarded your Diploma as proof of training and qualification you should then obtain professional insurance allowing you to practice as a therapist. We offer discount on therapist insurance. Read more >

Do I need an Anatomy & Physiology qualification to do this course?
