The NHAA is a firm believer in home study for massage education. This suits the self learner, shift worker or those who live in country areas. Theoretical or knowledge based subjects, for example Anatomy and Physiology, can be learnt this way.

However, Massage Therapy subjects cannot be effectively learnt this way. This is because in any tactile 'hands-on' subjects there has to be considerable learning and correction of practical techniques, personal postural assessment and adjustment for performing of the techniques, and detailing of personal information and feedback from class teachers. All this adds to the knowledge and quality of touch that must be developed for successful professional practice.

This development of quality of touch is why the NHAA has many successful graduates in professional practice. This can be achieved only through attending the Massage Courses, Classes and Massage Trainings provided by the Academy.

To allow for distance education students to learn the NHAA provides a number of weekend or day intensive massage courses so that you may have quality learning time with considerable supervision and interaction with class teachers (90% of NHAA class time is 'hands-on' practical).

Theoretical assignments are undertaken off campus thus allowing for more time in practical sessions.

Please note: some health funds do not accept courses completed in distance education for their provider numbers.
