Natural Touch Training is one of the country’s premier training academies for holistic therapies, beauty treatments and personal development courses. We offer a range of courses designed for both professional therapists and enthusiasts and are approved and accredited by some of the top awarding bodies in the UK. Our tutors are highly skilled and able to offer you the best quality training and support before, during and after your course.
There are two types of courses on offer for most disciplines:
A full course with one of our expert tutors will take you from zero to hero in your chosen area. Some of our full courses have prerequisite qualifications, and some have pre-course learning elements, such as our excellent online Anatomy and Physiology course. Our full courses are accredited by some of the top awarding bodies in the UK, and upon successful completion of your course, you will be awarded with a Natural Touch Training certificate signed by your tutor and ratified by the awarding body.
You can see all our links to professional organisations, accrediting bodies and insurers here.
Our refresher courses are suitable for practitioners who have previously qualified but have perhaps taken a break or simply want to refresh and update their skills. These are not qualification courses, but you will be awarded with a certificate of completion by your tutor and in many cases these also carry CPD (continuing professional development) points for professional therapists.
We have a range of excellent online learning courses available, and our blended learning option for some courses enables you to complete the course online with video tutorials and presentations to supplement our core manuals, always with the option to upgrade to hands-on training with a tutor at a later date.
We can also offer bespoke courses for previously qualified therapists. These are not certification courses, and not quite refresher courses either, but a course tailored to your exact needs. Let’s say, for example, that you’re a qualified massage therapist wanting to learn more about how to help clients with back issues. We can connect you to the right tutor, and arrange a course for you. Please use our contact page if you would like to talk to us about arranging a bespoke course.
How to book:
Booking a course is really simple. Just choose your course and preferred location, or one of our online courses. Once you have paid your deposit (or full course cost for online courses or refreshers) here on our website, your tutor will contact you to arrange a date for your course and give you any additional information you need. If you’re choosing an online course, you can get started straight away!
You can book multiple courses at once for yourself or for several delegates. If you are placing a booking for multiple delegates, please provide individual delegate details by adding a note to your booking on checkout.
We recommend you read our terms and conditions before booking your course.
We are here to support you. Once you purchase a course from Natural Touch Training you will have access to all the support you need. Your tutor will contact you to arrange a convenient course date, and we will provide you with all the materials that you need.
All of our courses come with a comprehensive and carefully written manual, which includes everything you need to make a success of your practical course. In addition, your manual includes helpful information on setting up and marketing your own business, employment options, insurance, health and safety, data protection, therapist self-care and much more.
Once you are successfully qualified we will continue to support you. Your tutor will be happy to address any concerns you have as you begin to use your new skills, and our Facebook support group for tutors and students is always available for you to ask questions or share ideas.
The fees for our courses come in two parts. When you book a course you pay a booking deposit to Natural Touch Training. Your deposit is not returnable under any circumstances, and signifies your firm commitment to complete the course. The second part of the course fees is payable directly to your tutor, no less than 14 days before the start of the course. Please see our terms and conditions page for more details.
At the checkout you can choose to pay by direct transfer (preferred), by card, or by PayPal including PayPal Pay Later, splitting your payment into installments.
Your course tutor may be able to offer you installment options for any outstanding balance, once you have paid your deposit. Please contact us for details before booking if you would like to use this option.
All qualified therapists should have professional insurance before they begin working with clients. For some courses it is also a requirement to have student insurance whilst you are training and practising your new skills. Your tutor will be able to advise you on this. Natural Touch Training will send you information about suitable insurance agents once you sign up for a course with us, and in many cases we are able to offer you great discount codes too.
CPD points for professional therapists:
Our refresher courses are not qualification courses, but you will be awarded with a certificate of completion by your tutor and in many cases these also carry CPD (continuing professional development) points, which can be useful if you are a member of a professional body such as the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
By the way, once you have completed a course with us, if you recommend a friend and they take a course, you will both be entitled to a 20% discount on the deposit fee for your next course!
Here are the links to our policies. You will be asked to confirm that you have read an understood these when you book a course with us.
Enjoy browsing through our courses, and we look forward to welcoming you as a Natural Touch Training student soon!
