Massive thank you to the College of Classical Massage. Another exceptional learning experience undertaking the Sports Massage Diploma with them. This course incorporates ITEC levels 3 &.4 Sports Massage & Structural Re-balancing. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their existing massage skills or those that are looking to start a career as a Sports Massage Therapist. The teaching is second to none. Within this course Michael Gibbons has incorporated his wealth of knowledge & experience, gained over more than 30 years as a practitioner. He is adept at sharing his skills and techniques with students. Actively supporting them in gaining the knowledge and confidence to effectively apply these techniques to achieve consistently effective results. He is also highly approachable and happy to answer questions and support students in working through any difficulties they may be experiencing. This is of major benefit to student therapists future clients as they will receive optimal treatment to meet their needs, supporting their recovery/general health & wellbeing. Student therapists can also be confident that they have gained the requisite knowledge and skills to build a strong reputation within the sports massage industry using techniques that will also maintain their own health & physical well-being, enabling them to practice for many years. The teaching is delivered in a variety of formats, face to face, videos, power point presentations, work-sheets, practical exercises,, guest tutors for specialist areas, for example, myofascial release and recommended texts, all of which are invaluable. The studio where the face to face teaching is delivered is idyllic, nestled in the South Downs and high levels of cleanliness are maintained. There is a constant supply of hot drinks & biscuits and Michaels wife Elaine even kindly supplies students lunch sometimes, in the form amazingly tasty, healthy soup. In summary, if you want to become a competent, skilled sports massage therapist then do this course, you will not regret it :)

I would highly recommend this course to everyone that is looking to get into massage or further their knowledge in this chosen field. The quality of the teaching couldn't have been better and everyone that is involved with teaching or behind the scenes couldn't do enough for you. The course content is very thorough and covers everything you need to know before you go out on your own. The handouts and supporting materials are very good and are made easy to understand, if there is anything that you find hard to understand then whoever is lecturing you is always more than happy to explain things in more detail or explain it in a different way for you to understand. The venue is lovely and a very relaxing environment to work in. Everything is always very clean and the lecturers are very welcoming which sets you up nicely for the day. As previously mentioned i would recommend this course to everyone.

I enrolled onto the Sports massage course after conducting research on a lot of course providers based around London and I am so glad I chose the College of Classical Massage. Michael is an incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive teacher. His passion for his field is highly evident in every single class we have had. Being an absolute total beginner to the massage and anatomy world, the Level 3 Sports Massage course is a perfect balance of theory and practical. Michael has an ideal teaching method which ensures all students get abundance one on one teacher time within the group setting. Notes are provided in person and links with further information is sent by email every session. All the teachers we met during the course were highly trained professionals, currently active in their fields and were able to pass on a wealth of knowledge to us. As a Muslim female who observes the practice of modesty, I felt included, supported and respected all the way through this course. I was highly fortunate to have an incredible teacher and wonderful classmates who valued my morals and ensured that wasn't a barrier to my learning. I am eternally grateful to the College of Classical Massage for enabling a once in a lifetime experience. Completing my course at The College of Classical Massage has not only enabled me to be qualified on paper but has given me immense confidence in my knowledge, skills and capabilities before even completing the course. The content and pace of delivery have been phenomenal. Despite three days of absorbing an immense amount of knowledge, it hasn't been overwhelming as our teacher has been intuitive to our needs and constantly checked in with all of us. The entire team at the college have been brilliant with communication from admin to accounts. It has been worth every single penny spent especially to be learning in relaxed idyllic surrounding. The venue in itself is extremely therapeutic, almost like a retreat weekend away but you come away mind brilliantly blown with how much you've learnt. If you are thinking of signing up, please just do it, you most definitely will not regret it.
