Thai Hand & Foot Massage Training Course
Fully Accredited Course with Qualification

Download your training manual
Once you have made payment for your training course you can download your training manual as a PDF document. This allows you to study the course manual before the training day. Alternatively you can order a printed version.

Print your training manual
Print your training manual and bring it with you on the day of the course. We cannot provide copies of the manual on the day of training.

Completing the test paper (the theory part of the course)
Read your manual thoroughly and then complete the test paper (found at the back of your training manual) before the training day so that you can be awarded your Diploma on the day of training. Remember to bring your completed test paper on the day.

The training day
All practical skills are demonstrated and practiced on the day. If you pass your practical assessment and have successfully completed your test paper you will then be awarded your Diploma at the end of the training day.

How can all that I need to know be fitted into a one day course?
Class numbers are small and our courses are focused upon the pratical skills that you will need to use when delivering a therapy. We cover only the essential aspects of anatomy and physiology rather than spending lots of time on superfluous information that does not relate directly to the therapy.

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 if you wish 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 to practice professionally after doing a course?
Yes. Read further information >

Do I need an Anatomy & Physiology Qualification to do this course?
No you don't. We cover all 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 upkeep your membership. This most often works on a points system with different numbers of points awarded for different courses.
