Frequently asked questions

Entry requirements

We assess every applicant on their potential, not just their paperwork. A prior massage or anatomy qualification is preferable but not essential — equivalent industry experience or transferable bodywork training can be just as valuable. Applicants should be aged 19+ on the first day of the course. Access to a laptop or tablet is preferable, so you can complete your enrolment online before you start. Get in touch for a friendly chat about your background.

How long is the course?

10 weeks of one college session per week. Live-client work runs throughout the course, supported by practical observation on real clients, written assignments, online theory exams set by VTCT Skills, and a portfolio of evidence built across all units.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Pay in full by card or bank transfer, or spread the cost — in-house instalments (no interest, no credit check), interest-free splits via Clearpay or PayPal Pay in 3, or flexible monthly plans through Payl8r.

Are your courses accredited?

Yes. This is a VTCT-accredited Level 3 Certificate in Swedish Massage, delivered at our centre in Warrington.

What career support do you provide?

You’ll graduate able to offer multiple massage modalities in salons, spas, gyms, mobile practice, or your own therapy room. The L3 carries weight with insurers and major spa chains, and is a strong progression base for sports massage, oncology massage, or a clinical-recovery specialism.

Do I need my own kit?

No — all the equipment and products you need are provided in-house, so there’s nothing to buy to get started. It’s preferable to have access to a laptop or tablet, so you can complete your enrolment online before you start.
