Indian Head Massage - 1 Day Diploma Course £199
Great For Beginners or as a refresher
Accredited for insurance purposes by:
Indian Head Massage is a very popular and effective holistic therapy treatment. It is very easy to learn and so this course is perfect for beginners. This comprehensive head massage course guides you carefully through all of the traditional massage techniques for both seated and couch based treatment. It is, very simply, one of the most relaxing therapies you can ever experience. And because your clients can remain fully clothed (if they choose to) it's perfect for people of all ages and all walks of life.
This diploma course provides you with 1 full day of practical training where you will be taught a full range of techniques and sequences so that you can offer a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating treatment. We only teach small groups of students at a time, so the quality of tuition is excellent and you will receive lots of one-to-one instruction and guidance from your tutor. You also practice the massage techniques upon fellow students, and they upon you (as it's the best way to learn) so you don't need to bring along a massage model.
Questions and answers

Beauty Guild, IICT & INHA.Which companies offer me insurance with this Diploma?
Many choices from reputable industry recognised insurers including:

Will this Diploma allow me to practice professionally?
Yes, all of our courses are suitable for professional practice. And once you have acquired insurance cover our Diplomas allow you to offer treatments from your home, from your salon or as a mobile therapist and charge for this service. -
Is there time to learn all of the techniques in only 1 day?
Yes of course. Our classes are small (between 2-8 participants) and so you'll receive focused guidance and individual attention from our teacher. You will also be taught a complete therapy treatment routine for delivering to your clients. And because students practice upon one another, you will also experience for yourself how amazing and effective this treatment can be.
Will I learn everything I need?
You will learn the same practical skills as with a longer course but you'll need to practice the treatment routine upon friends and family, using your manual and (where available) our on-line tutorial videos for further assistance after your practical training in order to perfect the techniques.
Can I come back and refresh my memory of practical skills?
You're always welcome to return and attend only the practical training again. This is known as a refresher course and allows you to brush up on the techniques you have learned with us. Refresher courses are only available to students who have previously completed their course with us, and substantial discounts are offered.
Is this a level 3 course?
No, this is a Diploma course. Diploma courses are also known as ‘short courses’ or ‘fast-track training’. However, the treatment techniques you'll learn are similar, and in some cases more extensive than on a level 3 course.
Do I need a level 3 qualification?
No, you don't need a level 3 qualification in order to deliver this therapy professionally. However, some employers and some London Borough Councils may specify a level 3 qualification as a requirement.What preparations do I need to do before my course?
You will be provided with your manual in PDF format and once you’ve read it you will be able to complete your on-line test paper, a simple, multiple choice test with 45 questions. Our administration team will also chat with you to let you know what to bring so that you are perfectly prepared and have a great time.
