Massage Diploma (ITEC Level 3)

The teaching is the best, not just the content presented but the way in which it is delivered. Great school. I have three more workshops booked with MSCM and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I took the massage diploma course. The course is affordable and there's an option to pay in installments. The courses are well run and structured However, the best thing about MSCM is the tutors. Passionate and knowledgeable. They love what they do and pass it to students!
