How soon do I have to register?

The earlier the better!  Course places are strictly limited and we never compromise our tutor-to-student ratio. Normally 14 days in advance is what we require, as courses can get full quite quickly.

 

 

Can I book on the day of the course?

Regrettably, no.  Courses have to be booked and paid for in advance of the course date.

All dates shown have availability unless marked "Course Full".

We strongly recommend that you pay for your course as son as possible, so we can reserve your place immediately.  One we have receive payment your place will be confirm, a booking form completed is not valid till full payment has been made as places are allocated to bookings with payments as we receive them this could mean that a course becomes fully booked before your payment has arrived.  All bank transfer must clear through our account no later than two weeks before the course date.

 

 

Are your prices fully inclusive?

Yes.  The price you see on our website is the price you pay - there are no hidden extras, but we always give students the option to purchase extra items that will facility further their studies and practice.

 

 

When and where do your courses run?

Please visit our Dates and Venues page for Swindon and UK venue details and a full list of our scheduled dates.

 

 

Does the IHTU Diploma allow me to get insurance so that I can practise?

Yes, absolutely, the IHTU Diplomas have been accredited by The Guild of Holistic and Beauty Therapists, they are a leading industry association. They have given us the ability to teach students these courses to practitioner level. On each of our courses the tutor will give you information on where to get good insurance. You will have no trouble finding insurance with our Diplomas.

 

 

What about the Reiki Degrees? Will I get insurance with my certificates?

Yes, insurance companies recognise the  Reiki qualification as proof that you have been attuned to that level of Reiki.

 

 

Are your Diplomas enough to get me a job?

Yes, without a doubt. Many owners of salons or Clinics send their staff out on one day intensive courses for their training. You also have the opportunity to be self employed and offer your newly acquired skills as a mobile therapist.

 

 

Why should I pick IHTU over another training provider?

IHTU have make a great effort making sure that the manuals we give our students are of high quality with in-depth information. Our trainers are Experience, passionate for their subject, insured and members of professional associations  (too many courses are run by people that are very new to the industry), and we are able to give you ideas for marketing and advice on starting out your business with on going support when needed. In IHTU we make sure that you get value for money and not only you get quality tutors but we make sure you time is well spend (we do not spend 1/2 morning getting to know each other and having long breaks which take precious training time).


 

Why are your courses only 1 day? 

IHTU provide a fast-track system of training in small groups of students, who really want to learn. This speeds things up considerably.
We will only cover theory if you have questions other wise most of the training is practical.

 

 

 

How much is practical application?

The full day is taken up with primarily demonstrations and practise. Remember that the theory is expected to be learned at home, this way you will have plenty of time to concentrate on the practice site of the treatment when you come to the workshop.

You will also give and receive the therapies as you practice with your fellow students, and the emphasis is very much on the practical aspect of our teaching you how to practice the therapy safely and effectively.

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.

 

 

What time do the courses start and finish?

Start and finish times vary depending on the course you attend and its location. Most of our 1-day courses begin at 9:30 and finish at around 17:00pm.  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. If you need to leave by an exact time (to collect children, get the train back ... etc), it is very very important you let us know in advance to make sure the teacher keep the training to it's schedule.

 

 

What kind of support do you give students after they've attended one of your courses?

We offer full post-course email and telephone support to every student, and we positively encourage our students to keep in touch with us.

 

 

What should I wear, do I need a Therapy Uniform?

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 jewellery on your course, please leave this at home, and also bring something to tie your hair back. Your Nails should be clean, tidy and short and free from varnish. The best type of clothing to bring is "track-suit" style in which you are also able to roll up the trouser up to the knee if required.

 

 

 

What do you do if a tutor has to cancel the course?

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 issue a full refund. 

 

 

What happens if I have to cancel the course?

  1. No refund of fees or transfer onto a later course can be offered if you fail to attend on the day of your course for any reason (hospital/doctor/dentist appointment, domestic crisis, travel delays, cold/flu, change of mind, lack of child care etc.,).  Fees are not refundable or transferable in this instance unless exceptional circumstances apply.  To ensure fairness these terms apply to everyone, and there are good reasons for them.  Unlike many training providers we will run a course, with the overheads that this incurs, even if we have very low student numbers - you may be one of only two students booked onto a date, for example. In addition our courses are very popular, and it's quite likely that we turned away another student who could have taken your place.

  2. Cancelling or transferring a course in advance will incur the following:

  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 48 hours before the course date: 100% of fee

  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 7 days before the course date: 75% of fee

  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 14 days before the course date: 50% of fee.

     

  1. We rarely have to cancel a course, but if we do we will transfer you onto the next date that's convenient for you at no extra charge.  We will always give you at least 48 hours notice of a cancellation, and if no other date suits you we will issue you with a full refund of all monies paid.

  2. Bookings are taken online via our website, and the full fee is payable in advance to reserve a place.  A booking may be made by telephone, by or on behalf of a student who does not have internet access, at our discretion.

  3. You are accepted onto a course on the understanding that you attend on the date and at the time specified in your confirmation email.  Classes will commence promptly at the time stated, irrespective of whether all students are present, and are not delayed for late-comers.  Tutors are not responsible for repeating notes or stages missed, and can refuse to admit you at their discretion.

  4. Fees are not refundable if the course is interrupted or cancelled through circumstances beyond our control.

 

What if I am late for a course?

If you know you are running a late please contact your tutor and inform them. 

Each person on the course is required to complete their hours of practical tuition so anyone who turns up more than 30 mins into the start of the course cannot join in as the class will not be held up to wait for you.

Any paid fees will not be refundable but if you wish to attend unto another training day, you will be requested to pay part of the course again, to cover tutors time and admin cost.  Please allow time for your journey.

 

 

What if i have a complaint about my tutor or training?

In the unlikely event of this happening all issues will be referred to Head Office and dealt with as appropriate.

Any complaints that may lead for you to take the training again must be made up to 48 hours from the time that the training was taken.

 

 

Why don't you use pay pal?

We did use their service, but we are very aware that many times they will wait till you have a reasonable amount of money in your account and they will close your account with out any explanation, this has happened to us and others, because of this we fell we can't trust them and prefer to use other methods of payment.

 

 

Do you hold Reiki Shares?

Yes, last Friday of each month, their is a donation of £3. do Contact us for further details.

 

 

What happens if I'm not able to make it into a course and I didn't jet have time to make any payments?

Sometimes last minute bookings are paid on the same day as the training, if in such case you cancel your training and you didn't jet made any payment, you will be requested to pay part of the fees of the non attended training day in order to compensate the tutor, only then you will be accepted again to attend any of our courses.
