For a full list of reasons to invest in Inspire read here. 

Inspire Therapy Training provides a fast-track system of training in small groups of students, who really want to learn, this speeds things up considerably. Although we cover the essential theory most of the training is practical. At home you are expected to undertake further study and do lots more practice, which you would otherwise do during your college time.  At Inspire you get one to one tuition and you will be on a course of no more than four students.   Of course it is up to your aptitude for learning. Fast Track Accredited Courses are giving people the opportunity to work in a place they would like to work, but not many people can take the time off work to do the long college route, we are in effect really helping those who have a passion for therapies but situations constrain them.   Inspire over the years have trained lots and lots of students who have gone on to become successful therapists and business people and we are proud to have trained them all.

The full day is taken up with primarily demonstrations and practise. You will give and receive the therapy, so you know how it feels and also learn how to give it professionally and successfully and safely.

Start and finish times vary depending on the course you attend and its location and numbers. Classes can and do finish earlier depending on size, odd or even student numbers and other factors. If you have a problem with the time the course starts please let us know and we can see what we can do to accommodate this factor.   Some tutors are now delivering the theory part of the day via zoom at a pre arranged time.  Due to COVID-19 it is important to reduce contact time.  This is one way we are putting all measures into place for all our safety.    Therefore your hands on practical training wont last the full day.

We offer all of our students help via email or telephone after our courses.  If your tutor passes you on the day then well done!  You can join the other students who have graduated through Inspire and have very good careers.  If on the day you are not passed, please discuss this privately with your tutor and refer to the terms and conditions with regards to additional opportunities for training.  Please be aware that to keep standards impecably high Inspire do thoroughly assess each student.

However we do pride ourselves on being available even once you have qualified so that we can help you in any way possible.  Aftercare support is so important.

No, you do not need to invest in any special uniform. Your clothes should be comfortable and not restricting movement. Preferably with short sleeves or sleeves you can roll up. Please do not bring excessive jewelry on your course, please try to leave this at home, and also bring something to tie your hair back. Your nails should be clean, tidy and short. Please do not turn up with long acrylic nails for any massage or facial diploma unless you are prepared to remove them!  You will receive more information in your welcoming email when you book about the requirements of the course you choose.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are trying to reduce the amount of paperwork used on the day.  So once you have completed your practical training, complete the question assessment at home and the evaluation and email it to your tutor.  They will then assess it and a successful assessment will release your certificate.  This will be sent to you in the post.

This event is highly unlikely; however our tutors are only human like everyone else and can become ill. But in this unlikely event we will transfer you onto the next course at no extra charge, if you cannot make the alternative date then we will try to pick a date we can train you one to one.   Please refer to terms and conditions.

Please see the terms and conditions - it is important that you do this. All deposits and course balances are non refundable and non exchangeable.

If you know you are running a little late due to traffic then please contact your tutor and inform them their contact details will be on the confirmation email they send out when you book.  Each person on the course is required to complete their hours of practical tuition so anyone who turns up more than 30 minutes into the start of the course cannot join in and the class will not be held up to wait for you.  Please allow time for your journey.

If you have a complaint then this must be referred to Inspire Head Office.  They shall deal with it then appropriately based on the information you provide.  You also get the opportunity to complete a student evaluation form once your training is complete. Please refer to terms and conditions about this.

First of all you do not need a PayPal account to pay online; you just need a debit or a credit card.  If you do not want to pay online we can arrange for you to send a cheque.  The cheque must arrive within two weeks of the course date so it has plenty of time to be cleared. Please contact us via email if this is how you would like to pay for your courses.  All payments must be received prior to the training. This is not negotiable unless you are receiving funding from an external agency.
