Success Story
Liz Rix
“When I first joined the Massage Therapies course, I was a little nervous as I'm in my 50's and wondered how I would be in a classroom situation. It wasn't long before I met the students and Tutor and quickly became at ease. The course itself is packed with vital and interesting information and if you do happen to struggle in any area there is also help to hand. The day consisted of half a day theory learning all about physiology and anatomy and the second half was practical where you get to practice your massage techniques on each other. My experience here was amazing, I learnt so much and I would gladly recommend this college, the commitment and compassion of the tutors in wanting you to achieve the best results in your exam were brilliant. Thank you Yorkshire College of Beauty.“
