The problem this course starts from

People leave a course able to do the treatment and unable to answer the first practical questions: what to charge, what insurance to ask for, what to do when a client does not turn up.

Kit before you pay3 items
  • A laptop or phone and a notebook
  • A spreadsheet or calculator for the pricing exercise
  • The consultation form template supplied with the course

You supply the kit yourself: the course does not include any physical kit. The kit-list PDF is yours to keep.

What this course does not do

  • Not tax, legal or insurance advice. The HMRC, data-protection and insurance modules are overviews. Check your own position with HMRC, the ICO, an accountant and an insurer.
  • No live tutor. The lessons are recorded. Questions about the content go to the team by chat or email and are answered in working hours.
  • No marking. Nobody reviews your practice work or signs it off.
  • Not a regulated qualification. You receive a certificate of completion from Dalby Online. It is not an Ofqual or RQF qualification.
  • Ask your insurer first. Many insurers want a recognised qualification, a hands-on assessment, or both. Find out what yours accepts before you buy.

You can choose how to work, price your first treatments from real costs, and write down your booking, deposit and cancellation terms.
