Where you can work
In short — where the document helps and where you need something else.
You do not need a medical education for this. The certificate confirms to clients and employers that you have completed the training.
A medical education is required — a course certificate does not replace it.
Employers usually require hours of practice, experience and English; medical massage requires local qualifications. Requirements for performing massage treatments vary from country to country — check with your employer. You can request a statement of your training hours from us if your workplace needs one.
My certificate has just been recognised, and I’ve been cleared to work fully independently with clients at the wellness centre of a well-known ski hotel in Switzerland. So much of what I showed at the exam and at work is exactly your foundation and your way of teaching. At first they told me: “If this turns out not to be enough, be ready to take courses here in Switzerland.” Now that question no longer arises!
