Gateway Workshops™ offers a specialist booking service, first of its kind which allows you to book the course of your choice easily and safely on our site. The Courses we promote are fully insurable & recognised by the professional bodies and insurable.
We pride ourselves on promoting excellent courses & teachers and we have built a long standing excellent reputation over many years. We are passionate about what we do and over the years our trusted service has been used by thousands of students both in the UK and also by students traveling from overseas to attend our courses.
During my time teaching I became aware of many students sad stories telling me that their training elsewhere was disappointing. I knew of many excellent tutors that perhaps did not have the time to promote themselves, I was asked for their contact details which took me on the next stage of my journey. I gave up teaching several years ago to dedicate myself to promoting others.
I am passionate about our school which offers a team of special tutors, they all have excellent communicational skills, a wealth of knowledge and care with great passion. Over the last ten years we have taught thousands of students from all over the UK and abroad.
Many people come to us from all walks of life, mothers, police men and women, staff from airlines, office workers many looking for a change of career or the experienced therapist looking for further training & courses offering CPD points.
The service we offer assures you the student that we monitor the courses we promote very carefully, we look for the best and if this is not demonstrated we may choose not to promote that course again in the future. We do our best to monitor feedback very closely as we aim to promote courses of a high standard so you will want to come back and book another course with us in the future. We are proud to say that the feedback has been excellent and we appreciate all the great emails we have received over the years.

FAQ:
“ I have noticed some of your courses are just one day, can I learn all I need to in just one day?”
YES! Our philosophy is to keep classes small and give more attention to each student, thus cutting down on class hours. You will learn the same technique offered by other companies however we pride ourselves on one to one tuition in smaller classes. The tutors commitment to you is they are so confident that one day is adequate for the one day courses (due to the small numbers they teach) that if they feel you need to come back to repeat the course, you can do this free of charge.
Certificates are only given once students have demonstrated that they have absorbed the information presented during the day and after applying a satisfactory treatment observed by the tutor. To ensure that we act responsibly and carry out good practice, should the tutor feel that you would benefit from further training, certification may/will be held back and you will offered the opportunity/be asked to attend the next available course that has a space, which is offered free of charge. This is rare but we would not be responsible if we sent out students, when the tutor felt they were unsafe in any way, as a day to learn a therapy is only a short time and the standard must be high enough to enable them to issue you with a certificate. Our tutors are there to help, with small classes it is easy to absorb the techniques you are taught. There are no exams to sit for our 1 day courses only a practical assessment.
You will receive your diploma certificate on the day of training (It will display Diploma Practitioners Certificate on it and does not have one day course on your certificate) and once you have practiced and feel confident you are able to take the therapy you have learnt out to the general public and charge for it as they are insurable courses. Many courses also have training DVD's available, these go over the course you have learnt for an excellent visual back up helping you to remember easily the routines and vital information.
We are not the most expensive and we are not the cheapest when it comes to courses, be aware of companies offering block course booking discounts. We believe you will be more than delighted with our courses & we do not discount our courses or de-value our tutors time. Our teachers are excellent at what they do and our prices, which we believe are affordable, reflect the high quality training & the price you pay. We do not compromise our costs which would then compromise the training you would receive. There are other courses out there offering lower prices and discounts but be aware you pay for what you get. The feedback we have received over the years about our tutors & word of mouth spreading positive news about what we do, makes us confident both our prices and our courses will deliver every time!
All our courses have been awarded CPD points (Continuing Professional Development). There are a certain amount of points required by the various bodies (IFPA, FHT etc) to ensure that members are up to date with various therapies. For example Aromatherapists are required every 3 years to keep their training in massage up to date and will look for CPD courses to be able to do this.
This makes our CPD courses available for the professional massage therapist or for a complete beginner.
We take payments for courses and products by credit or debit card online or over the phone alternatively you can pay by cheque or postal order. We only ask for a small deposit giving you plenty of time to save for the course fee, all our courses are very competitively priced making them affordable to all.
