Yes. CPD (Continued Professional Development) Points are Awarded to All Courses. Often up to 500 points can be awarded, please check with whom you are registered for their guidelines on how many points they award for online courses, as they all differ. To give you an example: FHT, Thinktree and others who accredit and approve our courses award CPD points to all distance learning online courses but they all award different amounts of points, no two professional bodies are the same. This is why when you check with the professional body you are with, they will be happy to let you know what’s awarded as we cannot set the number of CPD points, this is done by the accreditation bodies themselves.

We offer great discounts & instalment payment options on balance payments to help you budget. The tutor will contact you with the available instalment options if needed as soon as you have paid the course deposit for your chosen course.

When taking a distance learning course with Gateway, you have peace of mind that you will be training with a long-established company, whose training courses are recognised and passed by the top professional bodies, ensuring quality training and courses written by experienced tutors.

Our tutors have a wealth of knowledge and are passionate and caring with great aftercare and help where needed. All tutors are experienced in dealing with all different levels of skills and are happy to help with any questions you may have by phone or email as you go along.

All Gateway tutors hold a professional teacher training qualification (often the Award in education or PTLLS level 3 or 4 or equivalent) and have also been a therapist for many years as well as a trainer, so you know you are in good hands if you require any help from them with regard to the distance learning course you have chosen.

You must already hold a Level 3 in Massage and Anatomy and Physiology to be able to take this course. Proof of this qualification must be sent to the course tutor before you can start the course. If you are in any doubt that your massage is a level three qualification - please make sure that you email us so that we can check it on your behalf with the course tutor.

All forms of cups (silicone and glass etc) leave a mark if kept stationary, which is one of the techniques.

After you've completed your 20 multiple choice questions test, you will need to arrange your final live assessment via email. These will run once a month via Zoom (which you can use for free!). The tutor will provide you with the date options in an email.

For the final live assessment, you will need a model and some silicone cups (the use of glass or any other types of cups is NOT allowed) to use during the demonstration. You will need to perform a 15-minute cupping session on your model, with your phone or computer device facing you during the treatment. The assessment process will last around 20-minutes.

The live exam may include other students (it doesn’t always) this is a great chance to learn from others questions too and works really well.

The assessment can be where students feel nervous, so don't worry, this is a normal reaction! This part of the course is for you to practise some of the skills you have learnt and then gain some further ideas from any feedback you may get.

The Myofascial Cupping course covers techniques that can be used on most areas of the body (including the face and feet). We don’t demonstrate the feet or face, but students will learn the techniques and easily be able to apply them to all areas of the body.

Cupping can be used in these areas but it generally isn’t as it’s a technique that works best on the large muscular areas of the body.

There are many places where you can buy these cups (Amazon, Physique, Bellabaci, Natures Blends being some of these places!). We recommend looking for a set that has a minimum of 10 silicone cups in the kit. Please Note: This course is for use with silicone cups, NOT glass.

Gateway Workshops and Beth Cook take no responsibility for anyone using glass cups, as this course is not written for such use.
