Hi all!
I was hoping someone out there had done the itec massage course at the Devon Academy of Complementary Therapies and how they found it?
I am a Reflexologist and was hoping therefore it wouldn't be such a big shock to the system, as at least I now have a reasonbly solid background in A&P now. I was hoping to start the course in july and finish in December, as in October I am set to start an open Uni course.
So was just wondering how demanding other people had found it, how many hours study a week they found it entailed, and how credible they found the course (although it does seem to be accredited by the main organisations).
Any feedback would be super fabulous, and mega appreciated!

Hey
Sorry for the late response on this one, I see you posted it a while ago
Ive been studying at this college the past few months and I cant recommend it enough. The tutors are awesome and are so passionate about what they are doing, the course is structured really well. (Im doing body massage)
Barnstaple is a beautiful place to study too, if you decide to go ahead and need recommendations of accomodation let me know.
As for the credibilty - yes it is credited by main organisations. Its ITEC so you can use internationally.
The course is demanding, if you have to work full time as well, because remember, this is a diploma condensed to only a few months when its usually an hour a week over a year. But you can do it, if you work hard!
If you need any other info let me know 🙂
Hay,
Thank you so much for the reply. It's great to hear that you recommend the course, always a relief when your spending so much money! I have my A&P already so just the technical side and practice to deal with, which is a relief. I live close to Barnstaple so accommodation is not a problem, but again many thanks for the feed back.:wave:
No problem! Lucky you havibng your A&P 🙂 You can just enjoy the process of the massage course then, as the A&P is whats causing me stress 🙂 when do you start bubbles? Im at my last module in three weeks!
I am 100% sure you will love it there and love Gail and Derek!!
Well, I'm not sure now as was looking for a course to compliment my reflexology practise and was also half thinking about finishing my degree. I was worried about doing another course which was so dependent on using my hands as I am prone to joint ache ( I'm only 33!) in my hands and have only been practising for two years. (Have also been contemplating hypnotherapy)
At the moment it looks set that I finish my degree, which I feel is the right move, but I feel always a good idea to have a back up plan!
I'm sure you will do fine, the fact that you seem to be enjoying the course so much puts you in good stead to pass the course, and the additional courses they offer look good, so now you've found a good college it will make building on your skills alot easier for you.
Good Luck, and thank you for your help.:nature-smiley-008:
