Australia's most innovative massage training Academy

There are not many massage training organisations who can lay claim for being around for 30 years and still be delivering the finest training available anywhere in Australia. The Academy has been doing this for some time, so we are proud to inform you how we do it year after year.

• Variety of courses with heaps of study options: There is no such thing as one-size-fits all so why accept a one track (take it or leave it) course? The massage industry has lots of different people to cater for, so why not offer them something they would like and you would like doing as well?
  
  
• Value for money!: We offer more training hours for your dollar that means that you are better prepared for your own practice. Remember 80% of the massage profession is self-employed so the more hours or depth you do per subject the better you will be in your massage practice. Shorter training times = harder times in developing your own practice on graduation.
  
  
• The best trainers in Adelaide: Our hand-picked trainers are all in private practice and are specialist in their modalities. The Academy has always had an extensive training program for its trainers to ensure that they are delivering quality tuition to government-accredited standards. Check some of them out on this website and have a look at what they are into. This is important as the best trainers will bring out the best in you. Check John Kirkwood - master trainer in Acupressure, Patricia Farnsworth - Australia's most qualified trainer in Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy, Michelle Tsujimoto Adelaide's busiest Musculoskeletal Therapist.
  
  
• Unique courses - Unique skills: Some of our courses are exceptional and cannot be found anywhere else in Australia. Patricia Farnsworth is Australia's leading educator in Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy. This course is exclusive to the Academy and is considered to be the "Rolls Royce" of Musculoskeletal Therapy. We have students from all over Australia to train with us!
  
  
• No exams: For most courses, there are no scary exams, only practical assessments and assignments. If you do not meet standard then you can repeat the subject until you are competent.
  
  
• Centrelink approved: We are Austudy/youth allowance and Abstudy approved.
  
  
• Course flexibility: We have day, evening and weekend courses and you can choose when you would like to learn. We have continuous enrolments so you can start with any subject of your choice that does not have pre-requisites.
  
  
• Course switching: Yes, you can change your mind and switch diploma course specialty pathways with no penalty. All subjects you do are accredited towards the diploma and future courses.
  
  
• Prestige Accreditation: Since the Academy has been around for a long time, its reputation for offering the finest quality in training has been recognised by many employers in the industry. This means when you graduate you have the advantage of being recognised as having unique and distinct skills to offer. Prospective employers are not looking for graduates from short, fun and easy courses - they are looking for professionals: graduates who have been trained properly and sound in their skills and knowledge.
  
  
• Flexible payment plans: You can pay as you go subject-by-subject or payments can be customised on a payment plan for your budget. We also offer access to student loans through National Australia Bank. We do not expect all payments up front, only the individual subject fees.
  For subject fees please go to resources/PDF Documents.
  
  
• Face-to-Face Teaching: Our friendly trainers are there for you to ask questions and learn from their years of experience. We do not teach by DVD or "Live Streaming" or distance education with short tutorials. Our trainers like to know you understand the knowledge you will use in your own career. They will give you the insider tips on the best way to use your knowledge.
  
  
• Hands on: Teachers show and assist you - practice on real people with small classes!
