Whether you want to upskill, retrain for an exciting new career, or want to learn a range of life-enhancing therapies for the benefit of yourself and your loved ones, our Home Study Qualification courses can be the perfect fit for you.   

Our beginner’s home learning course in Thai Body Massage is designed for anyone who wants to become a Holistic massage therapist. Using our detailed course manual alongside the FREE instructional tutor-led videos (to be released in July 2022) you will learn how to perform the best selection of traditional Thai body massage movements so that you can confidently deliver a professional Thai body massage treatment.

The beautifully written and illustrated course manual guides you through a pre-treatment consultation and it also provides you with essential knowledge on the relevant anatomy and physiology plus covering the wide range of benefits from having a Thai body massage and how to identify contraindications.

How does home learning work?

• This home learning course in Thai body massage requires you to study your course manual and pass an online multiple choice test paper.
• You then learn the techniques by following the tutor led instructional video supplied with your course.
• We also recommend that you complete several case studies before offering treatments. The case studies are self-assessed and help you become familiar with the treatment sequence and client consultation processes.
• Note: You need to have a qualification (Diploma or Certificate) in full body massage before you can undertake this course.

Our Certificate Qualification is awarded as soon as you pass the online theory test and allows you to work as a self-employed therapist, start your own home-based business, or even work as a mobile therapist.

UPGRADE OPTION: Should you wish, you can upgrade to a Diploma qualification and attend practical training once you've passed your Certificate course.
