After putting in place the necessary quality processes and procedures required of a Further Education provider, The Amethyst Centre on Walsgrave Road, Coventry, has become an Approved Centre with Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT), to deliver training in complementary therapies up to Level 3. VTCT is a specialist awarding and assessment organisation that offers vocational and technical qualifications that are equivalent to NVQs. &nbsp;The courses, which will start in September, are designed to run in small groups of six people, which allows for more individualised tuition and development. Students do have to put in the necessary 200 case study hours in their own time, but by being based at the Amethyst Centre, they have the opportunity to put into practice their learning in the real-world situation of a working therapy practice. &nbsp; &nbsp;<blockquote>“We can train in subjects such as Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Massage, Indian Head Massage, Thermal Auricular Therapy (Ear candling) and Stone Therapy. Also available is training in Skin Cancer Awareness for Non-Medical Professionals, which is very important: and Infection Prevention for Beauty and Complementary Therapists.“Our therapists train the therapists of the future, and students can be assured that our small classes mean they have individual attention, taught by industry professionals with very successful practices in their own right.“We are delighted to have become an Approved Centre for VTCT and cannot wait to welcome students.”</blockquote>
