Which is the most reputable qualification?

[Tofu]

I'm looking to do my holistic massage + A&P as soon as possible and I'm a little confused. I need an internationally recognised qualification and I was wondering if anyone could tell me which is the most reputable one. Is it CIBTAC, IIHHT, IHBC or ITEC? Are there any others? Has anyone heard of www.readecollege.co.uk and its IRMT massage qualifications? Anyone heard of Essentials For Health, London School of Beauty and Make-up, The West London School of Therapeutic Massage, or Premier Global? Any one got any opinions about any of them? Please help!

I trained with VTCT at my local college. My course was fine. No doubt if you look around on this site you'll find past posting acclaiming other organizations. Check with who you will be getting your insurance from as to which qualifications they recognise.

Sorry I haven't heard of the schools you mention, so can't help you on that one.

Hi, I'm new to this site so unfortunately I havn't a huge wealth of info to pass on. However, I am also looking for a massage course and am thinking of applying for the one at Essentials for Health. I have the prospectus and went to their open day. It seemed very professional and suited what I was after. It is ITEC qualification. I have the impression from talking to others that have done different courses that there are various qualifications that are just as good as the next. It is just what suits you.
Hope this was of interest.

Thank's HilaryJane. I'm going to arrange for a visit to Essentials for Health too.

I have a friend who trained with Essentials for Health and was very pleased with the training she received.
