Build More Than One Therapy Skill
Why limit your professional offering to a single discipline? The CAMS Therapist Specialized Programme gives you the opportunity to develop knowledge across nine complementary therapy subjects, including five electives selected according to the direction in which you would like to develop your career.
This broader training can help you create a more versatile professional offering, combine complementary approaches and build a service portfolio that suits your interests and future business goals.
About the CAMS Therapist Programme
The programme combines four core subjects - Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, Counselling and Business Skills - PLUS your choice of five complementary therapy electives.
The core modules provide important foundational knowledge for working professionally, communicating with clients and understanding the business environment. You can then personalise your programme by selecting therapies from areas such as massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, herbalism, iridology, colour therapy and other complementary approaches.
The result is a flexible programme designed for students who want broader training rather than focusing on only one modality.
Why Study This Course
A successful wellness or complementary therapy practice often benefits from being able to offer clients more than one service.
Instead of purchasing and completing nine separate courses individually, this specialised programme brings together essential professional subjects and a selection of complementary modalities into one structured learning pathway.
Whether you are preparing to enter the industry or want to broaden an existing wellness offering, you can choose electives that support the type of services you would ultimately like to provide.

What You'll Learn
Anatomy & Physiology
Develop foundational knowledge of the structure and functioning of the human body. This core subject provides an important basis for students entering complementary and wellness-related fields and helps create a stronger understanding of the context in which different therapies are offered.
Nutrition
Study nutrition as one of the programme’s four core areas and broaden your understanding of its role within health and wellness. This knowledge can complement other therapies in your programme and strengthen the overall foundation of your professional offering.
Counselling
Working professionally involves more than understanding a therapy. The Counselling module adds an important people-focused dimension to the programme and develops knowledge relevant to communicating with and supporting clients appropriately.
Business Skills
Turn your training into a more commercially useful professional asset. The Business Skills module introduces knowledge relevant to operating within a business environment and is particularly valuable for students considering private practice, self-employment or developing their own wellness service.
Choose Any Five Elective Modules
This is where you shape the programme around your professional interests.
Choose five complementary therapy disciplines and develop a combination of knowledge and skills suited to the type of practitioner or wellness business you would like to build.
Your elective choices can allow you to concentrate on hands-on therapies, natural wellness approaches, client-focused disciplines or a combination of different modalities.
