This course is divided into two elements to maximize the benefit to students: Online theory training and one-day practical training.
Online training: Once booked and purchased online, the student works through the online tutorials, completing the course through self-directed learning and finally by undertaking the online test. Once the test is submitted and a pass grade is achieved, the student will receive a Certificate of Attendance in the theory element only.
It is optional to progress to the Practical training but the additional practical training is necessary to obtain insurance to practice this therapy. It is also essential in order to experience and practice the techniques.
The student must be enrolled on the online theory training to be able to attend the practical training (it would be more beneficial for the student of the theory element was completed before attending the practical day).
Practical training: Once booked and purchased online, the student attends the practical training and then submits the two assessments detailed below.
Once both theory and practical training assessments have been submitted and passed, the student will be issued with their Certificate. This certificate allows the therapist to obtain insurance in this specialist area and is approved by the Irish Massage & Bodywork Associationand by Brian Mullins Insurance Sligo.
