knowledge and understanding of this subject is essential to your practice of massage. If you have an ambition to be
successful professional therapist, a thorough grounding in A& P will make the difference in your being merely a “body
mechanic”, able to provide a basic massage work out , and you becoming a practitioner capable of offering treatments
that solve diverse health conditions.
There are, of course, many ways that you as a massage therapist can learn A&P; through home study; via Distance
Learning/Correspondence course; attending formal classes/lectures at the local college; taking private tuition.
If you have read our page on Learning Styles, you will be aware that each person has their own optimum way of learning
new information. Not everyone finds it easy to teach themselves on their own in their own accommodation, through
either self-study or correspondence. Some require the experience of being in the classroom or learning from a
knowledgeable tutor. However, not all can commit to the confined schedule set by these sources, or be able to attend
at their set locations.
For some time the Principals of ASCT have been researching educational techniques, to find a suitable course that
combines the freedom of learning at home in your own time and at your own pace, yet still provides the sensation and
benefits of being in the classroom. A course that provides for the different styles of learning - audio, visual, etc. and is
presented by a knowledgeable tutor.
With the advent of the Internet, the common availability of Broadband, and the facility of streaming video such a course
is now possible. ASCT has discovered a course that meets the conditions above and, having been given unlimited access
to the materials to check the quality and level, we are more than pleased to recommend it.
The course is particularly suitable for those with limited or no grounding in A&P, and allows you to attain a Level 3
qualification in the subject..
