Massage Course's Fees & Finance?
Pricing & Finance
The first question most people usually ask is “what does it cost?”.
We won't make it difficult to work out as there are no lists of modules to add up or phone numbers to call.
All our courses have manuals and workbooks included and are taught live by experienced course coaches with no unsupervised self study or video sessions.
Please download the PDF below for pricing and finance details.
All our graduates become “Student for Life” so that they are allowed to re-sit and study any or all modules of their course again, at any time in the future, FOR FREE. This ensures our graduates knowledge and expertise will always be up to date and their treatments will be at the highest professional level.
This also includes the CPR and First Aid certificate updates for our Remedial Master Therapists and, because they need to be continually renewed, could save you $1000's during your career.
Finance Options
A course fee weekly payment plan is available to approved applicants. Please contact a Career Advisor at your nearest or preffered campus on 1300 20 40 80 to discuss details.
Tax Deductible Fees
Our massage course fees are tax deductible as self education expenses provided the education for which the expenses is incurred are directly relevant to your current employment position. You should consult your tax adviser to determine deductibility of your expenses.
