RE: electrolysis+massage
Hi
All the best in your exams, you'll be fine. I did my ITEC/CIBTAC/CIDESCO last year, so here are a few questions I was asked:-
Electrolysis: What areas are you not supposed to have electrolysis? = Mucas membrane e.g. ears, nose etc
Why are you moving areas during electrolysis and what do you do when you move areas?
The practical exam is only about 15mins long, as they can only allow 5-6 people work in the room at one time. Even when the examiner is not with you, you must show speed and accuracy - especially with cibtac as they are examining you to see if you are commercially viable.
Massage: You won't have to do a full body massage, you might just get one leg, an arm and a chest massage and you will be asked the contraindications to massage, what muscles you are working on, that's all really.
The massage exam is the easiest one you will do, don't worry about your routine because every person will have to massage a different area and the examiner won't know you're routine. Watch your posture and make sure your appearance is perfect.
Relax, you will be surprised how much you will enjoy the exam!
Good luck!

RE: electrolysis+massage
hey!! i did my itec massage and electrolysis exams next week, went ok she asked a few of the girls the bones in tharm,wrist,ankle and leg!! other than that the questions in the massage practical were the usual, contraindications, movements, muscles etc. the only tricky one for electrolysis was 'what preheat treatment would you use before electrolysis and what treatment would you use after?' answers were...before....'anaphoresis' and after 'cataphoresis'. cant really remenber the questions on the paper................elcectrolysis.....tattooing, why would ya get a white mark on the skin after electrolysis, .........massage,,,fibroblasts,mastcells found where? what movement would ye use over scar tissue on the centre of the abdomen...i thought kneading but the teacher said hacking as kneading would stretch the skin further!! why would you put a support under the abdomen during massage?...for client comfort or to flatten the back, or to make the head lower than the body.....sorry i cant remember any more!!! hope it helps!!!!!!!!!!!![sm=newangel.gif]
