CONTEXT

I wrote the course outline, syllabus and schemes of work for The Indian Head Massage Course while completing the City and Guilds Stage One; each has been evaluated and assessed with improvements and the implementation of changes set in motion.

I have written the course curriculum for Indian Head Massage for Self, Family and Friends - Module One and Two, and Indian Head Massage (IHM) for Practitioners - Module Three.

·Proforma sheets for record keeping.

·OHP's for when I teach in a college environment.
