Our Certificated Training Courses

The Bristol School’s courses are limited to a small number of students to allow the maximum student / tutor interaction possible. All our tutors are fully qualified teachers and practising therapists.

No previous qualifications are required for our courses although a keen interest and a willingness to learn to a high professional standard will help the acceptance of the successful candidate. Students for the Aromatherapy and Reflexology Diploma courses will be asked to attend an informal interview before being offered a place. Places on the Indian Head Massage course are governed by availability.
