Founded in 1992, we have decades of experience as a school and our tutors each
have a great deal of invidual experience in the industry in their various
therapies! We know how to support your success. Experienced and highly qualified
tutors We train and hire the best in the business. All of our tutors are busy
practising therapists with a passion for their subject, a desire to pass on
knowledge and a supportive and caring teaching style. You can rely on their
advice about working in the real world of complementary medicine. We love what
we do, and our goal is to inspire our students to love learning and to love our
profession. Excellent tuition Interactive and varied teaching methods to suit
everyone. Most of our staff are graduates of the school and like their tutors
before them carry forward the strong MSCM lineage. Most importantly, our
instructors are trained not just to provide answers, but to listen and provide
individual feedback and clear explanation of concepts and techniques. They
provide a safe and inviting classroom environment where you learn in a fun and
enjoyable manner. In-depth learning opportunities with a good mix of theory and
practical Using both practical and theoretical learning means that every type of
learner will benefit, whether you are more hands on or learn better through
listening to, and writing and reading what you are meant to. Using practical
learning allows you to get hands on experience and learn the tools of the trade.
It can allow you to feel confident and competent in the skills and techniques
you will need when qualified to do your job effectively. Theory can help you
understand why practicals are carried out in a certain way so that you can
understand what you are doing yourself and explain to others. Theory on its own
will not teach you all the skills you need, neither will practical. To master
almost any field, you will need to do both. Guided Learning and Home Study To
succeed in learning it is important that you spend time at home reading and
digesting the theory as well as practising the techniques learnt in class. Our
guided home study suggestions have been designed to steer you in the right
direction, to keep your studying focussed and relevant. We never set homework
for the sake of it. Each one is carefully designed to facilitate deeper learner
and consolidation of relevant content. It enable us to offer continued support
away from the classroom. Part-time weekend courses Very few people have the
luxury of opting for full time courses. All our courses are part-time and our
weekend courses are ideal for people with busy lives. Part-time weekday courses
also available Ideal for therapists, shift workers, self-employed, part-timers
and those not working Monday to Friday. Flexible Learning Modular structure and
careful timetabling of our courses allows you to work at your own pace. We
understand how difficult it is for many to commit to lengthy courses and have
taken this into account by building as much flexibility into our course
programme as possible. Reasonable Fees Interest-free Instalment payment plan
