ITEC or Raynor Massage?

If you are looking to work for yourself, earning your own money, running your own business then you are free to choose to learn any style of massage you wish. It’s imperative that you select a training school that will give you a qualification that enables you to get insured.

• People who don’t need ITEC are those who want to.
• Work from home
• Work as a mobile massage therapist
• Work from a clinic or therapy room
• Rent a space in a gym or beauty salon
• Work as a self-employed massage therapist from a Sports Club

ITEC is a more academic route to getting trained

If you enjoy studying in a classroom style environment, studying from books, writing assignments and sitting written exams then you will find that ITEC really suits your style of learning.

Level 3 ITEC Sports Massage training takes longer than Raynor Massage training. Does this mean it’s better?

This is a question I get asked often and I’d really like to address it. I teach Raynor Massage using revolutionary training techniques that ensure students are taught everything that they need and nothing that they don’t need so that they can become fantastic Deep Tissue Massage Therapists. A huge proportion of the ITEC training is spent in a classroom teaching lots of Anatomy and Physiology that is completely unrelated to giving a safe and effective massage treatment. We feel that having to learn all of this A&P actually inhibits you from learning how to naturally feel for tension in the body. If you feel that it’s important for you to study Anatomy and Physiology then I recommend this online course: https://essential-training.co.uk/product/anatomy-and-physiology-online-course-fht

UPCOMING COURSES

ITEC is the body that is responsible for registering and inspecting colleges that teach certain courses. There are more than 750 colleges dotted around the globe that offer ITEC qualifications. ITEC courses are aimed at those who want to work as beauty therapists, salon owners or take on other roles in clinics spas and health farms.

There are a wide variety of careers available to graduates of ITEC courses. In many cases, students will go straight from their studies and into a paying job in their chosen industry. For those who are passionate about sports, an ITEC in sports massage therapy enables them to be involved in sports while also playing to their individual talents.

What Does ITEC Stand for?

ITEC was founded in 1947 as ‘the international therapy examination council’. It became known as ITEC in 1998. As the name suggests, the role of ITEC is to ensure that courses designed for those who are going to work as massage therapists or in a similar role are robust and test students on all of the requisite knowledge to work in their field.

This analysis and oversight is very important and is part of the reason that the ITEC is so highly thought of and accepted around the world. If students studying a Level 3 Massage course, for example, aren’t all being taught to the same standard, the effects would soon be felt in the industry itself. Needless to say, without ITEC ensuring that all the courses offered under their banner are not only suitable but continue to be useful and relevant as time goes on, standards would rapidly slip, both in the classroom and in industry.

Many ITEC courses, including the ITEC Level 3 massage course, which is equivalent to a Level 3 NVQ, don’t require any previous experience or knowledge. Designing courses that are suitable for students who don’t have any background or training in the subject at hand more complex than when designing a course for people whose pre-existing knowledge you can be confident of.
