Frequently Asked Questions

Do your Diplomas allow me to get insurance so that I can practise?

Yes, absolutely, all of these Diplomas have been accredited by The Guild of Holistic and Beauty Therapists, they are a leading industry association. They have given us the ability to teach students these courses to practitioner level. On each of our courses the tutor will give you information on where to get good insurance. You will have no trouble finding insurance with our Diplomas.

What about the Reiki Degrees? Will I get insurance with my certificates?

Yes, insurance companies recognise the Reiki qualification as proof that you have been attuned to that level of Reiki.

Are your Diplomas enough to get me a job?

Yes, without a doubt. Many owners of salons or nail businesses send their staff out on one day intensive courses for their training. You also have the opportunity to be self employed and offer your newly acquired skills as a mobile therapist.

Why should I pick this training over another training provider?

 We will help you gain membership to professional associations, to gain insurance and we will provide continuing support. Our tutors are fully qualified, highly experienced, they are fully insured and members of professional associations. They are knowledgeable in all areas of the therapy business and can give you ideas for marketing and advice on starting out. Our tutors will accommodate all students and their abilities and are highly encouraging, motivating and have a passion and drive for their subject. Most of all they are qualified with teacher status and will facilitate learning to suit your individual needs.


Why are your courses only one day? 

• We provide a fast-track system of training in small groups of students, who really want to learn, this speeds things up considerably.
• Although we cover the essential theory most of the training is practical.
• At home you are expected to undertake further study and do lots more practice, which you would otherwise do during your college time. 

How much is practical application?

The full day is taken up with primarily demonstrations and practise. You will give and receive the therapy, so you know how it feels and also learn how to give it professionally and successfully and safely.

What time do the courses start and finish?

Start and finish  times vary depending on the course you attend and its location. Most of our one-day courses begin at 10 or 10.30am and finish at either 4pm or 5pm.  Classes can and do finish earlier depending on size, odd or even student numbers and other factors. If you have a problem with the time the course starts please let us know and we can see what we can do to accommodate this factor. 

What happens if after my course i forget a few things?

We offer all of our students help via email or telephone after our courses.

What should I wear, do I need a Thearpy Uniform?

No, you do not need to invest in any special uniform. Your clothes should be comfortable and not restricting movement. Preferably with short sleeves or sleeves you can roll up. Please do not bring excessive jewellery on your course, please try to leave this at home, and also bring something to tie your hair back. Your Nails should be clean, tidy and short and free from varnish.

Do we get the diploma on the day to take home?

Yes in most cases if you do successfully attain the required standards then your diploma certificate will be ready for you to take home. If for any reason a tutor feels like more practise is needed then we will arrange a mutually convenient date for you to do the next course that has a spare place. .

What do you do if a tutor is ill and has to cancel the course?

This event is highly unlikely, however our tutors are only human like everyone else and can become ill. But in this unlikely event we will transfer you onto the next course at no extra charge and be sure to give you at least 72 hours notice. If you cannot make the alternative date then we will issue a full refund. 

What happens if I need to cancel my course?

Course payments are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. Failure to attend a confirmed course will result in the loss of all payments made for that course. In the event of a genuine reason for cancellation – proof may be required, a request for a transfer to a later course will be considered at the discretion of Isis. If the request is successful an administration fee of £10 per course will be charged

What do I do if I dont have paypal or a credit card?

First of all you dont need a paypal account to payonline, you just need a debit or a credit card.  If you dont want to payonline we can arrange for you to send a cheque.  The cheque must arrive within two weeks of the course date so it has plenty of time to be cleared. Please contact us via email if this is how you would like to pay for your courses.

Do I need to bring anything with me to this course?

Yes, the only thing you need to bring is a light lunch and a bottle of water.  Ensure you wear comfotable clothing appropriate for the therapy you are learning.  You will receive more information in your welcoming email on receipt of full payment.
