If you like working with people and have a keen interest in health and well-being, then a career in Orthopaedic & Soft Tissue Therapy, Sports Therapy or Massage could be for you. Many of the evening courses are a great stepping stone on the way to a career in many forms of therapy.

Students must be a minimum of 18 years of age. A previous knowledge of anatomy and physiology is helpful, but not necessary as students are given a thorough understanding of both of these fundamentals during the course.
