massage newbie

Hi all! I'm a newcomer to Healthypages and think it's a great place! I have signed up for the ITEC level 3 in Swedish massage as I have finally got the guts up to retrain and start out anew. However there is no-one else on the course yet (starts next month) and I am desperate to start learning - they will cancel the course if they don't get the minimum no. of participants.
Can anyone else recommend a good course to start pretty much immediately? I am being made redundant which has only added more fuel to my fire!
I am based in London and the course I want to take is at a community learning/adult ed. college - the cheapest way!

Thanks for any advice.
Yours, eagerly
