Barclay Academy of Complementary Health Testimonials

I love Barclay Academy because they give us cookies and always get stuff done on time. Very lovely polite people.

I love the Barclay Academy because they are always helpful and supportive. They also provide us with lots of yummy provisions! Always there if they're needed. Great.

I met Bev at her Barclay Academy 3 years ago and with whom I completed my Access Course. Bev's teaching style is very professional, the work was explained to me so I knew at any particular time exactly was was expected of me; feedback was always constructive. Practical sessions were of the highest standard and also conducted in the most professional manner at all times. The tuition I received through the Barclay Academy has given me a good and proper grounding to go forward into the holistic and massage industry. I have no hesitation in recommending the Barclay Academy to any student wishing to forward their career.

I recently studied (and passed!) the ITEC Diploma in Holistic Massage at the Barclay Academy of Complementary Health at Abingdon. Although l live in Oxford, l attended the Barclay Academy on the recommendation of a friend and l wasn’t disappointed. The quality of tuition was excellent with step by step demonstrations and guidance given for all the classical movements of the Holistic (Swedish) Massage technique. All of the staff members at the Academy are approachable, friendly and supportive and I think all the members of our study group had a great experience.

The study and treatment room at the academy is modern, well supplied and a great place to study. During the course, a good theoretical knowledge of the systems of the body is built up alongside the practice and development of therapeutic massage skills. Many of our group had not studied massage before but as well as the expert step by step tuition that we received, l think we all found the Academy a really supportive environment where staff members really tried their best to make sure we all had the greatest possible chance of achieving the ITEC qualification. I’m currently in the process of setting up my own massage therapy business and I look forward to studying some of the other courses that are run by the Academy as part of my professional development. Highly recommended.
