Diploma
Summary
In this programme, you will learn to work within the scope of practice defined by remedial massage, as well as wellness and relaxation massage.
This qualification can be done full-time or part-time and is run in a blended/online learning environment at our Rotokauri Campus. Your clinical hours are completed onsite in our affiliated clinics, and module practical days are set up in block sessions. This has been designed to allow you to fit your studies around work and life commitments and limit the need to travel often. As massage is a hands-on therapy, you will be required to come onto campus from time to time for certain practical elements of the course that cannot be completed online.
