Before Training Questions >     After Training Questions >

We have compiled the top ten frequently asked questions which students have asked before and after a training course (and this also includes some general questions about training courses). We hope that this will be of use to all students who are either considering booking a course with us, or have just booked a course on-line. We try at all times to make our training courses as easy-to-follow as possible so that each person's experience of training is a pleasant and productive one.

 

After Training Top 10 questions

• Do I get a qualification after I finish my training?

  Once you have successfully passed both the theory test (if applicable) and practical training Therapy Training School will award your qualification. This is available as a PDF download (so you can print as you need) or you can order and pay for a printed version from us.

• Can I work anywhere in the UK with this qualification?

  Yes: If you want to work as a self-employed therapist from your own home premises or as a travelling therapist who makes home visits to clients. If however you want to work in a high street spa or salon you may be required to have a College qualification. Colleges offer longer courses (a year or more) and award ITEC, NVQ or VTCT qualifications. It's your responsibility to research which type of qualification you need.

• I want to work abroad once I have trained and qualified in a number of different therapies. Will my diplomas be recognised around the world?

  Many countries around the world have very specific regulations about qualifications required for working there. In some countries an employer cannot offer you work unless you have a specific qualification and in some you cannot get insurance to work without having specific qualifications.

  These safety protocols vary enormously from country to country, making it an impossible task to create one qualification which is accepted world-wide. The best that you can do is to ask the Embassy of the country that you intend to work in what are the requirements of that country.

• What does my qualification entitle me to do?

  Our TTS Diplomas allow you to practice the therapy professionally, though you must source your own insurance before being able to deliver treatments. The Diploma and course work do not qualify students to teach the therapy themselves. Other qualifications such as VRQ & NVQ provide other employment opportunities. It is your own responsibility to research this yourself before booking a course in order to ascertain the suitability of the course and qualification offered.

• I would like to train with Therapy Training School in Swedish full-body massage and then train with another company in Sports Massage. Will this qualification let me train with another company?

  Unfortunately we have no knowledge of, or control over, the requirements of other training companies or organisations. It is the responsibility of the student to check this out before booking on any of our courses to ensure that they are suitable for developmental training with another company.

• Where can I obtain insurance to practice where relevant?

  Information on insurance options is available at our website. As we are constantly researching the most comprehensive cover offered at the least expensive prices, please e-mail us for the most up-to-date information on insurance cover if you do not see an option which is suitable for you.

• Can your courses be added to my existing insurance cover?

  This depends on your insurance provider. Complementary therapy organisations often offer their own insurance policies to members. If you are already insured with an organisation it is wise to ask them if their cover can be extended to include our courses. Do this before booking a course as you cannot be re-imbursed for training costs after you have clicked on the link to receive your manual.

• What if I have questions after the course is complete?

  Any student who has completed a training course at Therapy Training School can ask questions via e-mail after the course is complete.

• Do I need to complete case studies after the course is finished?

  No you do not.

• It is not convenient for me to travel very often. What options do I have if I want to do further studies?

  Home learning course options are the way to go.
