Become an instructor

The infant massage instructor training course is designed to provide practitioners with the knowledge and teaching ability to safely and effectively deliver infant / baby massage sessions and courses to parents and babies within a variety of individual and group settings. This will also include being able to deliver online sessions to parents and babies.

What age is infant massage suitable for?

Infant massage can be used from birth and on into the Early Years. We find that most parents attend classes with their babies from around 4/5 weeks up until the babies are wriggling/ crawling away (around 7-10 months). Although the techniques can be used with older babies and toddlers the above is usually typical of an infant massage class or session.

Our students love our
approach to learning

I am thoroughly enjoying this baby massage course  It is a great way to study at my own pace. I would definitely recommend to others. I am a busy working mum and being able to access this course online has been amazing.

I am very impressed with the course so far. It is very informative and engaging. I like the fact that there are frequent assessments as this tests our knowledge and understanding and I feel it sinks in better this way.
I am also impressed that I have a tutor assigned to me.
I am very excited to do the rest of the course Thank you.

just wanted to let you know how happy I am so far and very glad that I chose your online course. It is very informative and concise, and manageable and professional.   I do feel that I am in the right placeI have done several online courses and this is the first time that my tutor has been so engaged and really taken time to comment on each question in the assignment. Thank you
