Accredited Massage Courses

 

We currently offer two internationally recognised massage courses (through International Association of Therapists - IAOTH): one focuses on Full Body Massage, while the other teaches Lower Leg & Foot Massage, including all the key pressure points under the feet. The Foot Massage course is an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to begin a massage career while learning and earning at the same time. It requires minimal equipment and doesn’t even need a massage bed, making it easy to start generating income and save towards a professional bed in the future. [Please watch this space as other massages & beauty therapies will be added to course options soon such as Indian Head Massage, Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage, Sinus Relief Massage, Facials, Waxing, Eyelash Extensions]

CASE STUDIES:

 

Case studies are to be completed in your own time. Once all case studies are submitted, you may book your practical exam.

 

Students are responsible for providing their own supplies (equipment, towels, oils, etc.). If you’d like to complete your case studies at the Foundation’s premises, a small fee will apply to cover costs such as laundry, space rental, and consumables. The fee will vary depending on the treatment being performed. As a student, you may choose to pass this fee on to your case study client if you prefer.

Domestic Upskilling

 

 

This short course has been carefully designed with both the student and the employer in mind. While everyone can clean to some extent, that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand how to clean properly or appreciate the importance behind it. Over the years, we have often encountered employers who value their domestic workers as people but find that their work standards fall short.

For potential students, this course aims to help you truly understand what it means to be a professional domestic worker—not just someone who clocks in and out, but a vital part of a household. By completing this course, you will earn certification and gain the knowledge and confidence to excel in your role, whether in your current job or during future interviews.

Although cooking skills are not currently included in this course, we can arrange additional training to suit your needs. Please contact us if you would like to upskill yourself or your domestic worker further.

What the course covers: 

• Hygiene - Personal & Workplace
• Cleaning Do's & Don'ts
• Work Ethics
• Natural Homemade Cleaning Solution Recipes
• Job Seeking/Interview Tips
• Employers Main Concerns

This course is 5 days long - 1x per week for those wishing to work and learn. There will be a relaxed one-on-one test on completion to achieve certification.
