A prerequisite should be checked before training begins.

When a course requires an existing qualification, that requirement is there for a reason. The teaching builds on knowledge and practical skills you should already have.

If the entry requirement is Level 3 Massage, for example, the course is designed for someone who has already completed that foundation.

Being enrolled on a qualification is different from having achieved it. Attending classes, waiting for assessment or expecting to pass does not mean you hold the required qualification.

At Grace Training Academy, you must have your prerequisite certificate in your hand before attending an advanced course that requires it. This applies even if you are completing your foundation training with us. Knowing you, teaching you or seeing your progress does not replace checking your completed qualification.

Prerequisites form part of a course’s approved accreditation requirements. Where those conditions require a completed qualification and evidence of certification, accepting students without them is a breach of those accreditation conditions.

It may also create difficulties when arranging insurance for the treatment afterwards. A certificate for an advanced course does not replace the foundation qualification required to access it.

Before booking any course, ask:
• What qualification do I need?
• What evidence must I provide?
• Will this course meet my insurer’s requirements?

Every course provider **should** check that students meet the approved entry requirements before training begins.

These checks are part of caring for our students, maintaining teaching standards and respecting the clients who will eventually be in your hands

Qualified.....but still wishing you had someone beside you to ask questions, revisit techniques or talk through your next steps?

Our Refine & Rise Day gives you time and personalised support to focus on your practice.

Whether you’re returning after a break, finding your feet after qualifying or refreshing familiar skills, your day is shaped around what you need most. This could include:

• Hands-on practice and technique refinement
• Support with treatment flow and adapting your approach
• Practical feedback and space to ask questions
• Guidance on pricing and your treatment menu

A welcoming space to practise, learn and build confidence at your own pace.

Clear policies help everyone know where they stand 🤍

I’ve created the Therapist Policy Pack for massage, beauty and holistic therapists who want to explain their booking terms clearly and professionally.

Inside, you’ll find four editable policies covering booking, cancellations, no-shows and inappropriate behaviour, plus matching social media posts. You can add your own branding and tailor the wording to suit how your business works.

The pack is £9 and available now through Grace Training Academy. Visit the website to find it in the shop.

Please personalise and check each policy before sharing it with clients.

Do you have lots of ideas for your therapy business—but feel unsure which one to tackle first?

Perhaps you’re newly qualified and don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re trying to organise your treatment menu, pricing, paperwork, bookings or marketing. Or perhaps there’s one particular decision keeping you stuck.

Our Business Clarity Session gives you 90 minutes of focused, one-to-one support to talk everything through and work out what matters most right now.

Your session includes:
✨ A pre-session intake form so we can focus on your priorities
✨ A private 90-minute session tailored to your business
✨ Practical guidance around the areas you need help with
✨ A written summary of your key recommendations and next steps

Sessions can take place at the Grace Training Academy studio in Lisburn, over coffee at a mutually agreed location, or online through Microsoft Teams.

You don’t need to arrive with everything organised—that’s what the session is for. You’ll leave with clearer direction and a manageable plan, without feeling that you need to do everything at once.
