Hi
I know someone knows the answer to this question - just not me!!!
I have recently qualified in ITEC Diploma in Holistic Massage. What letters can I now use after my name? I've been to the ITEC website and there is no information there and I'm not sure where else to look!
Many thanks for your help

Hello Eagle - congrats on your qualification!
The letters you can use are simply ITEC ! You can also then add the abbreviations of any professional body you belong to, eg MCThA (member of Complementary Therapists Association) or whatever.
There has been a thread on this previously if you would like to do a search - cant remember when it was, some time ago.
Hope that has helped a bit
Karen (ITEC MCThA!!)

Hi Karen
Thanks for your reply. I did look to see if there had already been a thread on this and didn't come up with anything.
I had thought that our tutor had mentioned some more specific letters relating to the qualification - however this was right at the beginning of the course and it was never mentioned again! 'ITEC' keeps it quite simple though.
Thanks again

HOPE THIS HELPS

Hi Chid
This is more what I was thinking of.
Thanks

Dip. ITEC is perhaps what your tutor mentioned?
Hope that helps!

Hi Joggyb
I don't recognise that as being what my tutor said. Thanks for the suggestion though.

RE: Daft question about letters after names...
When I qualified (admittedly in the last century) I was told that we should use 'ITEC Dip'. But I have doubts about Chid's use of 'MA.' to signify 'massage'. MA is the standard abbreviation for a type of university degree, and it is just possible that using it may lead to complaints that a practitioner is portraying themselves to the public as a university graduate when they aren't. If anyone wants to add a reference to 'massage' after 'ITEC Dip', I think that they should spell 'massage' out in full, rather than use Chid's abbreviation.
