MASSAGE DIPLOMA
I enrolled on the AAPA and Sue Lincoln School of Holistic Therapies – Diploma in Therapeutic Massage Course in September 2011, I already had a massage qualification from 7 years ago, but felt I needed to “brush up” on my massage skills. This course seemed to offer a recap on my current skills and also cover new areas.
The course exceeded my expectations. Sue’s teaching style encourages participation and active learning. Her knowledge base is vast and as well as teaching the basics she is able to diversify and has the expertise to teach many different approaches and treatment techniques. The training days were thoroughly enjoyable and I never felt I was in “school “. A highly recommended learning experience!
I have now developed a different approach to my clients, addressing their problems more specifically with assessment and making my massages more goal orientated.
I feel my skills as a massage therapist have dramatically improved since completing this course with Sue.

Additional information
Having taught at many venues in the UK, I find that I always looked forward with great anticipation to teach for Sue. It is difficult enough to run a massage school in a large metropolitan area, but Sue provides a great service to our community through her own teaching. She has a sincere passion for providing the best education available in a caring and professional atmosphere. I wish all schools were so organized and dedicated and recommend the There Training Centre very highly,
