I had a great experience at The School (ST) The Anna Marie and her tutors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the hands-on training was invaluable. The range of CPD courses offered to continue your learning post and pre qualification is great. Highly recommend this school to anyone interested in this field!

I joined the Level 5 course in '23 having just had a taster weekend a few months before.An entire career change for me - mid life!I'm thoroughly impressed at the education in hands-on skill, business prep and up-to-date current practice of how we can assess, treat and offer appropriate rehab advice to our clients.I've since set up my sole trade business that's happily growing and also add to my repertoire with a few of the CPDs offered.Top notch!

Came to the ST school for a CPD course - the clinic is gorgeous, so bright and spacious and the facilities are second to none. The staff are super welcoming and looked after us perfectly throughout the weekend - and of course a huge thanks for sourcing such great CPD courses that are worth travelling across the country for! A force to change the industry for the better 🙂

A really impactful day. Evidence based theory on touch and the physiological effects of hot stones followed by practical integrated somatosensory experience to show best to use them - all delivered with amazing energy and passion - one of the best courses I’ve experienced, thank you!

A superb evidence lead course. Anna not only teaches the course but lives and breathes soft tissue therapy. The passion and time of research put into this diploma is met equally with Anna-Maria’s enchanting, up-lifting energy, kind and thoughtful nature, leaving you with just as much curiosity, excitement and education as herself. This course will give you the edge when it comes to vocational training within the industry. A must for anyone wanting to get involved in a person centred holistic approach to hands on therapy.

As always an excellent presentation by Anna Maria Mazzieri from The ST School. So much information to unpick! Anna Maria is a passionate presenter with the most up-to-date knowledge on massage and soft tissue therapy. Always look forward to her webinars and presentations.

This course has changed everything! I started this course as a level 3, who really knew nothing and everything I did know was outdated! The course is intense, it’s hard work, but boy is it worth it! The knowledge and understanding I’ve come away with after 9 months has improved massively and the confidence it’s given me to take my business forward is something I can never thank Anna Maria for enough. The passion that Anna Maria has for this industry, her business but also every single one of her students is incredible and I feel extremely lucky to of been taught by one of the best! If you have the opportunity do a course with The School, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I have never enjoyed a course more and I have attended many. This course really sparked a lot in me. From the desire to constantly know more to wanting to ask questions on the course. The knowledge shared with me was very comprehensive and I have created an exciting new career for myself. I can’t thank the school enough for the knowledge and experience they have provided with me. This course has been invaluable and I would encourage any one to go for it. I have loved every minute of it. Thanks Anna and Becky 😃

For any soft tissue therapist or massage therapist The School is the home of up to date, evidence based and easy to use in clinic education. I wish I had started my educational journey with Anna Maria and her incredible team. I have enjoyed some face to face and online workshops and both formats have helped me to feel more confident in what I do and how I support my clients - and that’s where it really matters! I couldn’t recommend Anna Maria and her team more highly.

I recently attended the Rehabilitation Principles CPD course with The School; and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the course and standard of teaching by Anna-Maria and her team. They demonstrated exceptional knowledge throughout, along with critical thinking and up to date evidence based research which was easy to digest. Anna-Maria and her team were professional, yet very friendly and delivered the course in an informative yet fun manner. The course was very interactive (my favourite way to learn) and provided all the key skills required to offer comprehensive injury rehabilitation, whilst giving me the confidence to offer this service to my patients. I look forward to attending the next course with The School and would highly recommend their services!
