Students who fail to attain the required standard may be asked to attend further seminars until that standard is reached. In the early stages of the course students work on one another. Towards the end of the course members of the general public, known and approved of by the School, are brought in for students to evaluate and work on under supervision. Students also have a log book to complete with records of treatments they have conducted on friends. These are discussed with the students as part of their clinical experience.

QUALIFICATION:

A Diploma in Remedial Massage is issued once the examining body is satisfied with a student's competence. Students may then practice as remedial massage practitioners.
