Teach. Assess. Assure. Lead.
🎓 Your Complete Pathway into Education & Training 🎓
If you’re a beauty, massage or holistic therapist thinking about stepping into teaching, you’re in the right place.

At Holistic Therapies Training Academy, we support therapists at every stage of their educator journey – from first curiosity, to qualification, to confident progression.
Whether you want to:
  • Teach part-time
  • Add education as a new income stream
  • Assess or internally quality assure learners
  • Or build your own academy in the future

We’ll help you choose the right pathway, at the right time, without pressure or confusion.

🌱 There’s More Than One Way Into Teaching
One of the biggest misconceptions about becoming an educator is thinking there’s one fixed route.
In reality, teaching progression looks different depending on:
  • Your experience
  • Your confidence
  • What you want to teach
  • Where you want to work
  • Whether you’re teaching now, or planning ahead
That’s why we offer clear, structured pathways, not one-size-fits-all advice.
