Massage Courses - Part Time
Many students need the flexibility to complete their studies on a part time basis to balance study with their work or family commitments.
The School allows you to design your own program to suit your own needs. This includes selecting courses that can be done with daytime, evening and weekend classes.
Some theory based subjects have home study options.
Delivery Modules
Your massage qualification is gained by completing ‘delivery modules’ that align to the units of competencies for this nationally recognised qualification.
Studying massage part-time allows you to undertake just one module per term if you wish.
Some students start with one module at first and find they can then take on multiple modules in their next term to complete their program sooner.
