  • What Do YOu Need To Consider?

  • Are you considering a new career as a massage therapist and seeking recognised qualifications?

     

    One of the first things you need to consider is whether or not a career as a massage therapist would suit you personally. There are some essential questions to ask yourself such as:

     

    Do you enjoy social interaction?
    Once qualified you will be spending most of your day offering health advice and interacting with your clients.

     

    Do you take interest in peoples wellbeing?
    Your clients will be depending upon you to help them feel better about themselves physically and even emotionally after a treatment.

     

    Do you have patience and stamina?
    You will need to be physically fit and well composed in order to avoid symptoms of fatigue and burnout.

     

    Career as a self-employed therapist?
    If you wish to work from home and/or as a mobile therapist then you can complete all of your training with us and go on to complete our Therapist Business Course.

     

    Or perhaps you are just wanting to learn basic massage skills so that you can practice on friends and family?
