The course is not linked to dates. You can take lessons at your own pace.

The lessons are provided in video format and as text files. After each lesson, there is a test that will help you check the assimilation and understanding of the material. We give three attempts to pass the test. If you made mistakes, we recommend that you review the lesson one more time or reread the materials and take the test again.

After passing all the lessons and completing the tests correctly, you will receive a Certificate of completion of the course.

Homework assignments given by teachers are not mandatory for obtaining a Certificate. But we recommend that you do them in order to maximize the assimilation of all the knowledge and try it out in practice.

Immediately after purchasing the course, you are given access to the group in Telegram messenger, where you can ask the curator questions about any lesson or ask for advice from experienced students. Once every two weeks, we hold webinars for all students with teachers on the most common issues, complex situations and the application of knowledge in practice.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a massage seminar jointly organized by IMA Academy and Chiida Academy, and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. The seminar, led by a professional instructor, was a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering valuable insights into the art of massage therapy. The theoretical aspects covered were comprehensive and informative, providing a solid foundation of knowledge for all participants. From anatomy and physiology to various massage techniques and their applications, every aspect was explained with clarity and depth. It was evident that the instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting their expertise to the students. What truly stood out about this seminar was the emphasis on hands-on practice. Participants were given ample opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts they had learned in a supportive and nurturing environment. The instructor's guidance and feedback were invaluable in honing our skills and techniques. Moreover, I was impressed by the caring attitude and thoughtfulness shown towards the students throughout the seminar. From providing necessary materials to addressing individual queries and concerns, the organizers ensured that everyone felt valued and supported. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Jeppe Tengbjerg for his exceptional leadership in making this seminar a resounding success. His expertise, patience, and genuine dedication to the art of massage therapy were truly inspiring.In conclusion, the collaborative effort between IMA Academy and Chiida Academy in presenting this massage seminar was commendable. It was a rewarding experience that left me feeling empowered and equipped with valuable knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of massage therapy or embark on a career in this field.
