What can Q Academy offer you and how much does it cost?

We know that the course fee information is a critical component of every potential students check list, when looking for a massage school. What is just as important though is to know exactly what is included in those fees and what you might still have to pay for, so you know the total cost of your course.

We also know that most people, who have decided to become a Remedial Massage Therapist, are looking for the most in depth and affordable  training available that would get them qualified as quickly as possible. That way they can start earning money with their new skills and leave their current occupation as soon as possible.

We are happy to provide all the information on how much it will cost and what we provide, such as :-  

	Time efficient training  We use advanced kinaesthetic learning techniques which make learning massage fun and memorable. Our live, full time "intensive" massage courses are really full time and run 5 days a week. Our "Balanced Lifestyle" massage courses run 2 evenings a week plus a full day on the weekend. Both on campus programs are intensive and get you industry qualified in the shortest time possible. For self paced E-learning we will be releasing our new on-line learning program in mid 2010.
	Free Revision Sessions: Unlimited access to free one-on-one time with a Course Coach.  Our classes are fun and interactive with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, but at the end of the day if you still feel like you need to know more, you can book in for a Revision Session.
	Scientific training You will learn not only the ‘how' to treat, but also and more importantly, the ‘why' . Our Massage Therapy courses are based on the most up to date evidence-based scientific research.
	Very Cost effective training Most other full time Remedial Massage courses elsewhere take more than 1 year because they usually offer only 2 to 3 days a week of lectures compared to Q Academy's intensive 5 days per week full time schedule.  That is why this intensive immersion course takes only six (6) months compared to the 1 or more years of study required elsewhere to cover the same material. Those extra six or more months could cost you $20,000, or more, of potential lost income. Every extra month you take longer to get qualified can cost you thousands of dollars of potential lost income, making our massage courses the most cost effective training program by far.
	Value Our Massage Therapy course fees are ALL INCLUSIVE and offer exceptional value and peace of mind. All the massage therapy text books, massage course manuals, oils, shirts and your first aid certificates are included in your full Diploma of Remedial Massage on-campus course fee including your own portable massage table. Despite all the services & materials included our course fees are still amongst the most competitive in the country, especially for fully coached, live learning.
	Lifetime support As a graduate you also become a  "Student for Life", which means :-  -you can re-sit and study any part (or all) of the live massage courses you did again, for FREE, to keep your knowledge fresh and up to date.    - you can upgrade your annual CPR and first aid qualifications with us for FREE for the rest of your life, saving you $1000's if that that is included in your package. We also provide unlimited Career Support, which means our Careers Specialist can help you get started with your new massage career after you have graduated and our Jobs Board has an extensive list of potential employers for you to consider at any time in the future.
	Fun & minimum Stress We make learning Massage Therapy FUN, which is a fundamental part of our advanced kinaesthetic learning techniques. We don't have any big three hour final exams or take home assignments. We have continual multiple choice in-class knowledge checks and you can re-take them as often as you need until you pass, just like your drivers license.
