CIBTAC Level 3 Body Massage

£1,450.00 ex VAT

Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or enhance your skills as a spa or massage therapist, the CIBTAC Level 3 Award in Body Massage is the perfect next step. This internationally recognised qualification equips you with the professional techniques and theoretical knowledge required to deliver high-quality body massage treatments — including consultation, full-body massage techniques, client care, and aftercare advice.

The course is delivered over five hands-on training days, followed by a structured 12-week study period. During this time, you’ll complete both practical and theory-based learning independently, either at home or in your salon/spa setting, before undertaking your final assessments.

In a competitive and fast-evolving industry, starting with a globally respected qualification like CIBTAC sets you apart. Unlike short, one-day accredited courses, this award ensures you’re trained to an internationally recognised standard — giving your clients and future employers confidence in your skills, professionalism, and readiness to progress to more advanced therapies.
