The Ultimate Massage Course brings together the three treatments that make up a working massage menu, in a single enrolment: the classical full-body routine, the seated treatment clients book for neck and shoulder tension, and the heated-stone treatment that sits at the top of most price lists. Rather than learning one and coming back for the next, you build the whole offering in one go.
You study online at your own pace. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook covering the theory, and every unit is assessed as you go — if an assessment needs another attempt, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost. You keep your course materials for life, so you can go back over any of the three routines whenever you want to refresh them.
It is one enrolment covering all three treatments. The shared theory — Foundation, anatomy and physiology and skin healthcare — is taught once rather than three times, and each treatment then has its own module.
No. The package is written for complete beginners and starts with the foundations before any of the three routines. If you already work in beauty or holistic therapy, you can move through the early modules quickly and go straight to the treatments you do not yet offer.
All three treatments come at one package price rather than three, and the shared theory is taught once instead of repeated.
There are thirty-nine units across six modules, so this takes longer than a single course — the three treatment modules alone come to sixteen. There is no deadline, and you can work through the treatments in whichever order suits you.
Everything is online. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook covering the theory, across all three treatments, and you can study from a computer, tablet or phone.
Every one of the thirty-nine units has an assessment you complete online, including each unit of the three treatment modules — three for body massage, five for Indian head and eight for hot stone. If you do not pass first time, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
No. Bamboo massage is only available as a course on its own.
Yes. The Ultimate Massage Course is accredited by ABT, IPHM and IGCT, and recognised by insurers including Towergate, Radius, Insync and Balens. Insurers set their own requirements, so check what your chosen provider needs for each treatment before you start taking clients.
Yes, and with three treatments to sell it carries more weight here than on a single course. The Foundation module covers promoting your services, reception duties, taking payments, insurance and the legislation that applies once you start working with clients.
Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments at the checkout.
Your diploma is issued by Next Step Beauty and carries accreditation from the bodies below. Those accreditations are what insurers look for when you come to arrange cover.
Your login details arrive by email as soon as you enrol, and the platform works on a computer, tablet or phone. Each unit has tutorial videos and an eBook covering the theory, followed by a multiple-choice assessment you can retake as often as you need. Completing a module unlocks the next one.
Once you have worked through the theory, you submit case studies of your practical work. Your tutor assesses them against industry standards and gives you written feedback. If they ask for changes, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
When you complete the course you receive a diploma certificate, available to download straight away and yours to keep. Your course materials stay available for life, so you can go back over anything later.

Victoria Arpels
Founder and Head of Training
Victoria started where most of our students start. She trained in beauty therapy while working as a therapist in a busy spa — learning the theory in one place and practising on real clients in the other.
Then she kept adding to what she could offer, building up treatment by treatment through intensive specialist courses, before going on to earn a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Certificate in Education, and to lecture in further education. She has been the student learning an unfamiliar technique and the tutor assessing someone else’s work, which is a large part of why our courses are built the way they are.
She founded Next Step Beauty in 2008 because getting good training still came down to what you could afford and how close you happened to be to a college. More than 100,000 students have trained with us since.
She has stayed close to the teaching rather than stepping back from it. As Head of Training, Victoria works with the tutor team who assess the case studies you submit and write the feedback that comes back to you, and she is personally involved in the private student groups. Whichever course you choose, you are learning from people who had to practise it themselves first.
