Want to help others feel better? Massage therapy is an excellent job with endless career opportunities. A day in a massage therapist’s life is varied and fun. Whether you’re working with elite athletes to manage injury prevention or providing a drug-free treatment option to those with chronic illnesses, every day is something new.
With VFA Learning, you’ll learn how to become fully qualified within 12 months (full-time study load).
There’s a big trend toward using natural therapies – especially in Australia. According to Complementary Medicine Australia, approximately 70% of Australians use complementary medicines, and the popularity of the use of complementary medicines and natural therapy modalities has remained consistently high and continues to grow. So, there’s never been a better time to start a career in one of the oldest forms of medicine.
If you want a flexible learning environment, we’ve got you covered. We’ve developed a blended option for our Certificate IV, Diplomas and Advanced Diploma courses. Our courses are a mix of theoretical and practical learning. Learn theory online during the week when it suits you, and get lots of hands-on, real-life experience in our labs, simulated work environments or on placement.
If you have questions or want more information on options that suit your learning needs, our highly experienced Course Consultants are here to help.
Massage Therapists often become experts in several modalities requiring specific skills and techniques. VFA Learning provides two comprehensive courses – the HLT52021 Diploma of Remedial Massage and the 22316VIC Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy which provides the skills to widen the scope of a traditional remedial massage therapist.
Unlike other organisations, we make the study experience easier where we can. We have dedicated staff to assist with organising your practical work placements. Plus, our qualified practitioners supervise and support students when they complete on-the-job training.
Massage students get hands-on experience through our in-house Student Massage Clinic and work placement. Lots of practical experience means greater skill development in patient assessment and management and a confident therapist.
VFA Learning will give you access to highly-respected industry trainers. You will learn in high-quality training facilities, honing your skills to ensure that you are well-prepared for the real world.
You can save even more money if you’re eligible for Commonwealth and Victorian Government-funded courses (conditions apply).
A massage course can be a great starting point for more advanced roles in massage or provide a pathway to tertiary education.
