3 Ways to Study with Q Academy
Q Academy offers our students multiple options when it comes to studying massage including online courses, self-directed E-classrooms, and in person at our campuses located in the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Cairns & Sydney.
Self-Directed E-Classrooms
Complete your lessons online but in a Q Academy classroom. Replay your video lesson, be motivated by and practice on your peers, and ask questions and get feedback from a course coach. This is mostly self-directed learning so you will need to be motivated and dedicated to your studies. There are scheduled classroom days and minimum on-site requirements that you must meet to satisfy completion milestones.
Self-Directed E-Classrooms
Online Learning
This is the most flexible study option available. Learn massage from home at your own pace. You will receive excellent student support, and hundreds of short, expertly developed video lessons to teach you the skills and techniques needed to become a qualified therapist.
Online Learning
On-Campus
This is hands-on, classroom learning. Choose to study at one of our campuses in Queensland: Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or Cairns. Be inspired by your course coach and motivated by your peers. Have the maximum amount of guidance and support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely! We offer a number of short, specialised courses that are ideal for qualified therapists who would like to earn CPE points in order to maintain their professional currency. Some of our short courses include dry needling; myofascial cupping; hot stones; traditional flame cupping; and pregnancy and infant massage.

Yes. In fact, if you are a Q Academy graduate, you are entitled to attend our first aid refresher course for free, for the rest of your career. While a first aid renewal will generally cost more than $100 every time you do it, we’ll save you the expense when you study with us. As a practising massage therapist, you will need to do a first aid course every three years in order to stay registered, so this is a great benefit in the long term.
We offer a range of massage courses to cater for all levels of training and experience. Our courses include the benchmark qualification in massage, the HLT52021 Diploma of Remedial Massage, through to the highest VET-level qualification; the 22316VIC Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy. For a full list of the qualifications we offer and for more course details, have a look at our course directory. With the exception of the 22316VIC Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy, most of our courses require no previous massage experience and are a great starting point for a career in the manual therapies.

If you choose to study online, you will get access to all of your course content in a digital manual with short, engaging video lessons presented by our experienced course developers.

The final step in your online training will include supervised practical training hours at your nearest Q Academy Clinic in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns or Sydney.
