Our take

Based on the ratings of 7,059 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a compact relaxation massage course from Mark Perren-Jones, who ran an award-winning spa and says he has taught hundreds of thousands of students. It runs about 5.3 hours across 69 lectures. The core is a full-body routine: ten lectures on the massage itself, then a 101-minute follow-along sequence that is the longest block in the course. Earlier sections cover room setup, strokes done right and wrong, and body mechanics. It also carries 5.5 NCBTMB approved CEUs, which matters to therapists renewing credits.

Reviewers keep coming back to the same things. It is easy to follow, clearly explained, and practical rather than academic. One says Mark's upbeat personality keeps the class from being boring, and reviewers report feeling more confident, one while copying the techniques on a cushion. Complaints are small. One reviewer found a badly worded question in the final test, and another wanted the video to show the model being turned over, which they call a vital part. A third notes that local massage rules differ, so check yours.

Value looks strong for the length. The course has 30,449 students and 7,059 reviews, and 4,937 of those are five stars. Only 93 ratings are one or two stars. The business, anatomy and aromatherapy sections are short, so treat them as a taste, not a full education. The last update was July 2026, so it is current. It suits a first routine or a polish for an existing one, and not an advanced technique course.

Best forBeginners and working therapists who want one clear full-body relaxation routine plus CEU credit.
Skip it ifYou want deep anatomy, deep tissue or sports work, or have no table and nobody to practice on.

Pros

  • A 101-minute full-body sequence you can follow along with and copy
  • Reviewers call it easy to follow and practical, not academic
  • Teaches body mechanics and how to look after yourself as well as the client
  • 5.5 NCBTMB approved CEUs and a certificate for working therapists

Cons

  • Quiz wording has slips, and one reviewer found a final test question confusing
  • Needs a massage table, oils and a practice partner before you start
  • Business, anatomy and aromatherapy sections are brief, about 36 minutes combined
Great course! Easy to follow, well explained, and very informative. I learned useful techniques and gained more confidence in massage practice.

Labeled all levels, but it fits beginners and early-career therapists best, and you need a table and a willing model.

The relaxation massage masterclass with prof. Mark was one of the course ever. Everything was clearly explained, he shared a lot of informations to no harm. I am pleased with this course and now willing to take the Bamboo massage next.

By Anonymized User on 6/24/2026

I love his upbeat personality. It makes the class not boring. I plan to fuse with my Personal and Reiki Skills. Michigan has very strict rules still about Local Massage. Its good to check local areas. But this class so far; serves my virtual, remote business.

By Elena - Mihaela Mindru on 6/13/2026

Great course! Easy to follow, well explained, and very informative. I learned useful techniques and gained more confidence in massage practice. Highly recommended for beginners and anyone wanting to improve their skills.

By trudy jane byers on 5/27/2026

By Dino Anakaba on 5/26/2026

This course has been very informative and practical so far. I have learned a lot until now, especially about relaxation massage techniques and client comfort. The training is easy to follow, professional, and very well explained. I’m really enjoying the course and looking forward to learning even more. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much Mark for such a comprehensive course on massage therapy. Truly learnt a lot. It’s a game changer & helping me a lot in my massage therapy job. Also thanks a ton for the certificates

By Eric Janssen on 1/10/2026

duidelijke training, veel van geleerd. Jammer dat de youtube link bij mij niet werkt

By Nikola Radunović on 11/25/2025

In general, I am satisfied with the course. Maybe just a small suggestion and recommendation: for the different massage techniques, it would be useful to show the specific elements of each massage on the models. Also, for those of us whose native language is not English and who rely on subtitles, the problem is that the subtitles are automatically generated, and they contain errors, inconsistencies, and are not synchronized properly

By Peter Nemsila on 11/24/2025

As a beginner I received all the basic information that I needed. Good structure of the course , good content, I looking forward to start next course for deep tissue massage. Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge.

By Zakaria Abdulai on 11/15/2020

By Joe Kelley on 11/15/2020
