ITEC Indian Head Massage Certificate

Course Accreditation

• The European College of Reflexology and Massage post graduate Certificate.

The main aim of the Certificate in Indian Head Massage is to enable Learners to gain the necessary practical and theoretical skills in order to provide Indian Head Massage treatments.

This course is open to everyone; you do not need to have any experience and you can attend the course for personal and family use. However, in order to work on the general public, you must have completed anatomy and professional ethics (for our existing students you can attend this course as you are completing the anatomy and ethics alongside the award).

* Qualified Therapists will be given the option of sitting the ITEC Certificate at no additional cost. You will need to submit treatment evidence and complete a practical/theory exam.

If you are a qualified therapist this will be an excellent treatment to add to your existing qualifications. We have especially focused on qualified therapists and hairdressers and decided to run the course over a Sunday and Monday to facilitate quiet days in the salon/spa.

Indian head massage is a fascinating treatment. The results are amazing. The treatment is calming and relaxing to both the therapist and the client. During the workshop you will perform a treatment and receive a treatment at least twice.
