Questions and answers about this course
How does home learning differ from an attendance course?
During an on-site (attendance) course you will be instructed on techniques. You will be supervised and assessed as you both give and receive a full treatment. There is a short written test and upon successful completion your diploma will be awarded at the end of the day.
A home learning course offers you the opportunity to study the techniques at home using the course manual and access to the online videos of techniques with help and advice as required via email. A test and case study are required and your diploma is awarded upon successful completion of the course.
Can I practice professionally with this Diploma Course?
Yes. Once you have been awarded your Diploma as proof of training and qualification you should then obtain professional insurance allowing you to practice as a therapist.
Is this course accredited?
Yes. Courses are accredited by The Guild of Holistic Therapists & Beauty Therapists as well as The International Natural Healers Association. Accreditation means that our course content has been appraised by external professional therapy associations and has been approved for professional therapy training purposes.
Can I get insurance after doing a distance learning course?
Yes. Read further information >
Do I need an Anatomy & Physiology Qualification to do this course?
No you don't. We cover all relevant aspects of anatomy and physiology which are specific to each training course.
What are CPD points?
CPD is an abbreviation for Continuous Professional Development. Sometimes if you are a member of a professional therapy organisation you need to undertake regular training to upkeep your membership. This most often works on a points system with different numbers of points awarded for different courses.
