The only University credit-rated massage training in Scotland.
Professional Therapy Education
Western School of Massage has trained some of the top therapists in the UK for over 25 years.
We are Scotland’s favourite massage therapy training organisation and the only one offering University credit-rated courses in both Swedish Massage and Remedial & Sports Massage.
We tailor our courses for therapists to be and those already working – from first-time students to experienced practitioners.
Our aim is to teach in an open, friendly, motivational, and encouraging atmosphere.
Our Western School awarded Professional Diploma courses are credit rated by Glasgow Caledonian University at levels 7 and 8 respectively, awarding 60 credits each. Being credit rated by GCU gives you confidence in your choice to study with us, knowing that your qualifications are widely recognised and valued by potential employers.
Studying a university credit rated course demonstrates the level and depth of study required. Credits can be used towards further study elsewhere or transfer them between other related university courses.
We also offer additional non credit-rated CPD courses in Advanced Remedial Massage and Seated Acupressure (on-site) Massage.
