Choosing how and when to study:
You can select how you'd like to study the Anatomy & Physiology unit of your course below (this defaults to e-learning) but you can change this to classroom learning and select your preferred dates for attendance. Most have a correlating block of dates, for example you can study the A&P for 5 days, followed by the massage practical for 5 days over a 2 week period, or for the Saturdays, study for 5 Saturdays learning A&P, running onto the massage practical course for a following 5 Saturdays.
If you select to study the A&P via e-learning, you will have access immediately to the online home study that you can work through at your own pace. You can study the A&P unit before, alongside and after your classroom contact days. This will be delivered to you via videos, interactive presentations, written materials and quizzes.
Upon booking, you will also have immediate access to the massage theory online pre-learning materials. We recommend students spend 2-3 weeks in advance of their classroom dates reviewing this learning content.
You will then attend the college for 5 days to review the theory and learn the practical application of massage. Your 5 days classroom attendance can be selected from the date options below. We offer the classroom days over Fast Track or Saturdays.
Fast Track: This refers to how the course days are studied rather than fast tracking you through the course. When selecting the "Fast Track" course date options, you will attend for 5 consecutive days (usually Monday-Friday). This allows you to begin your coursework as soon as you complete your block of classroom days.
Saturdays: When selecting a course date option for Saturdays, you will attend 5 Saturday classroom days, usually every other week. You can begin your coursework towards the end of your 5 classroom days.
