The Course emphasis is on practical skills and the first year gives a good basic training in this, together with the introduction to the theory of Shiatsu. The wide ranging syllabus is listed overleaf. Shiatsu training will give you a greater sense of awareness and the tools to improve your own health and well-being. You will be able to give a wonderful Shiatsu to your friends and family, together with handy first-aid points.

There will be a high ratio of teachers to students to ensure you receive an excellent level of support. Some home study is required. Those satisfactorily completing the first year course can go on to the 2nd year. Depending on numbers the 2nd year will take place in Forres or Aberdeen. The full three year course fulfills the requirements laid down by Shiatsu's governing body, the Shiatsu Society.
