What students are saying about us!
“It was great to come to Sydney to learn massage and be able to take my qualifications home. One of the best parts of the program is the variety of specialised modules. This allowed me to explore a range of massage techniques.” Lukas Costa
”We all really enjoy the style of teaching. The brilliant use of reinforcement for learning, constantly repeating the names of the muscles or technique or particular reflex point and how they relate and have inter-relationships, always seeking feedback to determine whether or not students are happy with the pace of the content, diligently answering questions and an interactice class whereby students participate in a safe environment. It was a real pleasure to attend the NSW School of Massage as I feel I have learnt a great deal.” Philip
