Welcome!
The READE COLLEGE was founded to elevate the standing of the complementary therapist by ensuring that every person who trains through us is taught to the highest level. Over the years we have taught many people who have gone on to be very successful therapists in their own field of therapies. Each of our courses carries practitioners insurance which can be obtained either through our own broker IPTI.

What Course?
There are a number of courses available to the student and no prior qualifications are required to sit some of our courses, although to sit some of the more specialised courses you will need a diploma in Massage with A&P (Anatomy & Physiology). Practitioner Massage course prices start from £700 and our None - practitioner courses for friends and family start at £300. If you have qualified through other organisations, these qualifications are always useful and in many cases will not be discounted.

About the Courses
If you are unsure of what courses you need to become qualified, massage with A&P is a good foundation course. This course will give you good basic massage skills and a thorough working knowledge of A&P. With this course you will also gain you an internationally recognised diploma and also allow you to set up your own business, work in health clubs or work from home. The massage diploma course is also a good stepping-stone and will allow you to travel abroad as our diploma is recognised throughout the world. Alternatively you can go on and study other longer courses, such as reflexology, aromatherapy and sports massage and injury management. All our courses carry comprehensive practitioners liability insurance.

Hands On Approach
Because massage is basically a practical skill, all our courses concentrate heavily upon the hands-on application of knowledge and so we insist on many hours of practice before issuing diplomas. The course work also includes all the theory necessary to ensure graduates work knowledgeably and safely, with a two hour written examination for massage and three hours for Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Sports Massage and Injury Management courses.

Examination Board
The college uses The Complementary Practitioners Examination Board. This board has been trading since 1997. and each student wishing to pass the colleges courses will be examined by this examination board. Our diplomas are usually accepted widely by local councils and throughout the world for the purpose of employment and insurance, and such employment can be found in Health Clubs, Gyms, Hotels, Hairdressers or as a Mobile Therapist.

Successful Candidates
Upon successful completion of the full diploma course(s) in Massage, Sports Massage, Aromatherapy and Reflexology, the student becomes a member of a recognised professional organisation, which entitles them to:

• practitioner insurance at preferential rates;
• be placed on a practitioners register which can gain them extra work;
• regular newsletters;
• be kept informed of the changing legislation which governs their therapy.
