Copyright and Use of Course Materials

All course content provided by The Glasgow School of Massage is protected by copyright law. This means you must not copy, share, distribute, or provide access to course materials to anyone else without explicit permission from the copyright owner.

Teaching Qualifications and Restrictions

We are committed to maintaining exceptionally high standards in all qualifications awarded by The Glasgow School of Massage. Therefore, therapists who complete any qualification with us are not permitted to teach or offer training in that discipline for a minimum period of three years after receiving their diploma certification. This period allows therapists to gain confidence and develop advanced skills in their practice before teaching others.

For our specialist Oncology Massage Diploma, in line with guidance from oncology experts and our local cancer centre, a minimum of three years’ professional experience working as an oncology massage therapist within a hospital, cancer centre, or hospice setting is required before a therapist can be considered qualified and insured to teach this discipline. This requirement will be clearly stated on all relevant certificates. Upon completion of this experience and submission of evidence, therapists may request an advanced teaching certificate.

Cancellation Policy

  • Course fees paid to The Glasgow School of Massage are non-transferable and non-refundable except in cases of specialist medical circumstances.
  • To qualify for a refund or credit voucher in these cases, you must provide written notice and a valid doctor’s letter in advance. We will either refund your booking fee as a voucher or reschedule you for another date.
  • We are unable to offer refunds for cancellations due to forgetfulness, lateness, work or childcare commitments, minor illnesses such as coughs or colds, or other reasons not supported by specialist medical evidence.

Course Cancellations by The Glasgow School of Massage
