Course Description
Distance learning course of 20 lessons
�Massage is a gentle and effective way of helping the body to heal itself.�
Over 2000 years ago Hippocrates said �rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is too rigid.� This is what is so amazing about massage - the same brisk movements that can induce an invigorated feeling can be softened and performed slowly to induce sleep. Massage has both physical and psychological benefits. This course has been designed to teach the student the more refined techniques of massage which are easy to learn.
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
Assessment Method
After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
