Hello!

Hi everyone:)

I have just spent hours and hours looking for accredited swedish massage courses. I found this website [url]Massage Diploma Courses London Glasgow and Stoke-on-Trent[/url]
but I really think that these courses must just be tasters, although 'accredited'.
I am already studying anatomy and physiology under my own steam at home, but just books approved by FHT/VTCT/NOS, so would not have a qualification.

What I would really like to know is, it is worth taking one of these courses? can you join FHT with a Guild of Holistic Therapists accredited course?

It says you can get insurance and practise after you receive your diploma, but having ploughed through a load of anatomy and physiology, how would anyone feel qualified to practise after just reading their 100 page manual?

I am only looking to these courses as I live in a very remote area, travel to anywhere providing ITEC/BTEC courses is at least 4 hours each way, so I like the idea of a 2 day hands on training with only 5 other students in the class, instead of an hour long evening class each week.

I feel a bit :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: after staring at the screen for so long!! Any advice greatly received, I am new to all this, though have been practising (at home) aromatherapy and massage for 11 years, I would to get qualified and have this an an option for my future.

Thank you!!
