Back to Work Home Learning Courses in Massage & Holistic Therapy

Each of our accredited therapy training courses is available as a home learning course, also known as a home study, distance learning or correspondence course.

This means that you can study each course from the comfort of your own home with no deadlines or timescales. This also means that you have more free time to set up your business as a self-employed individual and seek help if required from your local Business Link.

Courses are supported by FREE online video clips which show you each of the techniques in detail.

Our home learning therapy courses contain exactly the same information which is presented to students during on-site (attendance) courses.

Remember that if you are currently unemployed or you have been made redundant we can offer you a discount when you purchase 3 or more courses at the same time.

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.

Is this course accredited?
Yes. Courses are accredited by The Guild of Holistic Therapists & Beauty Therapists as well as The International Natural Healers Association. Accreditation means that our course content has been appraised by external professional therapy associations and has been approved for professional therapy training purposes.

Can I get insurance after doing a distance learning course?
Yes. Read further information >

Do I need an Anatomy & Physiology qualification to do this course?
No you don't. We cover all relevant aspects of anatomy and physiology which are specific to each training course.

What are CPD points?
CPD is an abbreviation for Continuous Professional Development. Sometimes if you are a member of a professional therapy organisation you need to undertake regular training to maintain your membership. This most often works on a points system with different numbers of points awarded for different courses.
