FAQ

Q: What qualification do I get from Yorkshire Massage Courses?

Upon sucessful completion of our accredited massage training courses you will be awarded a Practitioner Diploma from our parent training company, London Therapists.

Q: Are the training courses recognised by a professional body?

All our massage diploma training courses are accredited by two of the UK's leading industry organisations, the International Guild of Complementary Therapists and Westminster Insurance.

Q:  What does my Diploma entitle me to do?

The Diploma allows you to practice the therapy professionally, though you must source your own insurance before treating members of the public.   The diploma does not qualify you to teach the therapy yourself.

Q: Where can I obtain insurance to practice?

Full details of your insurance options are available from us on the day of your course.

Q: Do I need to have insurance before doing any of the courses?

There is no need to have insurance cover in place to learn a holistic therapy, only to practice it professionally. If you wish to practice professionally it is necessary to have public and professional liability insurance.

Q: Can your courses be added to my existing insurance cover?

This depends entirely on your insurance provider. Complementary therapy organisations often offer their own insurance policies to members. If you are already insured with an organisation it is wise to ask them if their cover can extend to include our courses.
