Would you like to attend a course where there are only other female students and teachers?

 

Our women only courses are available at all of our venues across the UK and you can be assured that only female tutors and students attend. To find a female only body massage course simply select your closest training venue and then view the course dates that are available. Alternatively we can arrange solo training for you at a convenient date that suits your lifestyle.

 

This course is suitable for complete beginners and those wishing to brush up on techniques.

 

Our female only courses are available only for women to attend and the practical training is delivered by a female tutor. You will also receive lots of friendly guidance and advice from our female support staff who are always available to assist you.

 

The course includes:

Lots of friendly customer support

Expert help and guidance with your pre-study to be completed at home

Lovely training materials in PDF format

Theory test to be taken online from the comfort of your own home

Female teacher for your 2 days of practical training

Get an accredited Diploma so you can setup self employed, start your own home-based business, or work as a mobile therapist.

 

The course provides you with 2 full days of practical training where you will be taught a full range of techniques and sequences so that you can offer effective treatment for many of today's common ailments. We only ever teach small numbers of female students at a time so the quality of tuition is excellent and you will receive lots of one-to-one instruction and guidance from your tutor. You also practice the massage techniques upon fellow students, and they upon you (as it's the best way to learn) so you don't need to bring along a massage model.

 

Pay for this course in 2 instalments. The first instalment secures your place on the course. The second instalment gives you access to the training materials, online theory test paper and practical tuition.

More about the course

Questions and answers

  • Is this course suitable for beginners?

    Yes. Also perfect as a CPD course for practicing therapists.

  • Who accredits this course?
    Beauty Guild, IICT & INHA.
  • Which companies offer me insurance with this Diploma?
    Many choices from reputable industry recognised insurers including:
    Beauty Guild, Westminster Indemnity, Towergate, IICT.
  • Will this Diploma allow me to practice professionally?
    Yes, all of our courses are suitable for professional practice. And once you have acquired insurance cover our Diplomas allow you to offer treatments from your home, from your salon or as a mobile therapist and charge for this service.
  • Is there time to learn all of the techniques in only 2 days?

    Yes of course. Our classes are small (between 2-8 participants) and so you'll receive focused guidance and individual attention from our teacher. You will also be taught a complete therapy treatment routine for delivering to your clients. And because students practice upon one another, you will also experience for yourself how amazing and effective this treatment can be.

  • Will I learn everything I need?

    You will learn the same practical skills as with a longer course but you'll need to practice the treatment routine upon friends and family, using your manual and (where available) our on-line tutorial videos for further assistance after your practical training in order to perfect the techniques.

  • Can I come back and refresh my memory of practical skills?

    You're always welcome to return and attend only the practical training again. This is known as a refresher course and allows you to brush up on the techniques you have learned with us. Refresher courses are only available to students who have previously completed their course with us, and substantial discounts are offered.

  • Is this a level 3 course?

    No, this is a Diploma course. Diploma courses are also known as ‘short courses’ or ‘fast-track training’. However, the treatment techniques you'll learn are similar, and in some cases more extensive than on a level 3 course.

  • Do I need a level 3 qualification?
    No, you don't need a level 3 qualification in order to deliver this therapy professionally. However, some employers and some London Borough Councils may specify a level 3 qualification as a requirement.
  • What preparations do I need to do before my course?
    You will be provided with your manual in PDF format and once you’ve read it you will be able to complete your on-line test paper, a simple, multiple choice test with 45 questions. The pass-rate is 98% and you can retake the test as many times as required without additional charge. Our administration team will also chat with you to let you know what to bring so that you are perfectly prepared and have a great time.
  • DO YOU HAVE TUTORIAL VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR THIS COURSE?
    Yes we do. These videos are great for you to use as a reminder after completing your course. You can purchase this training video at our Vimeo.com channel. Registered students receive a 50% discount. These videos can either be downloaded or streamed directly to your TV or hand held device.
