There are no formal entry requirements for this course. However, it is required that students:

• Are 18 years or older
• Have sound language and literacy skills (at least Year 10 English, or equivalent)
• Have basic computer skills

You don't have to want to practice massage professionally to do this Introductory course. Some students just do it for the love of massage and to be able to give it to family and friends. Others use it as a launching pad (as subject 1) into nationally recognised training. And others may do the 2-day Introductory course as a trial, or taster, to see if they want to go further and if massage might be the career for them. How far you go with the training is completely up to you!

Course dates will depend on which course option you choose (On Campus or Correspondence) and your location. 

Course dates are provided as part of the enrolment process. 

All your learning materials will be made available to you by the College and are included in your course fee. 

On-campus students receive an Introductory Massage Course manual in class. 

Correspondence students receive an Introductory Massage Course manual and access to a downloadable IMC video, featuring our Lead Trainer. Correspondence students also access learning and assessment materials on the EvolveHub, our thriving online education environment.
