Would highly recommend learning this way!
I studied this course recently and found it to be very interesting, lots of information all easy to understand and printable.
The videos were a great add on, easy to follow and understand, showed ways how to do the different types of massages, how to stand and extra information on how to go about adding this to your own business.
Contacting the admin department was easy, answered calls very quickly and dealt with the issues straight away. Also a call back to make sure everything was ok. Received certificate within days and downloaded, very good quality.
Would highly recommend learning this way!
