Are you ready to start working as a massage therapist?
This Level 3 Diploma in Massage Therapy provides you with everything you need to know to start your career with confidence. This course is ideal for complete beginners or for therapists who want to update their skills. We will also be offering specialist massage courses that require level 3 as a basic prerequisite.
During this course, you will learn all the skills to offer a full-body deep-tissue massage. You will also receive lots of business training - both online and in-person. Nicola has been working as a trainer in a business development company for many years, guiding business owners to set up, develop and grow their own businesses.
Often students have to attend college part-time for a year to achieve this level, and you can do it with Exhale by blending online learning with a 5-day in-person practical course. This career path offers flexibility - pick your own days and hours, and the opportunity to improve the quality of other people's lives. It is the perfect opportunity to break out of a regular job that you have outgrown. Massage therapists charge from £40 per hour upon graduating. Often a lot more, depending on location.
