Order the latest documents directly online from the schools of your choice today and after just a few months, new doors will be open to you as a medical masseuse.

Yes, training to become a medical masseuse with Federal Professional Examination is a federally recognized training measure that leads to a Federal Professional Certificate. It is the only masseur training program that leads to a Federal Professional Examination.

Training as a medical masseur with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education gives you the opportunity to work in a wide variety of facilities. These include rehabilitation clinics and rehab clinics, retirement homes, nursing homes and spas, hospitals and health resorts. Clinics, sports clubs, wellness hotels and wellness centers can also offer employment, as can the possibility of opening your own massage practice. Medical massage training therefore opens up numerous career opportunities.

You can only take part in the Federal Diploma of Higher Education Federal Professional Examination for Medical Massage Therapists if you have completed the individual modules that you take at a school during your training. This requires the completion of all eight modules. As a rule, you will only receive these qualifications if you pass the proof of competence, such as module examinations or practical work, and were present for a certain percentage of the course duration, usually at least 80 percent. An occasional absence for excusable reasons, such as illness, an important occasion or a problem within the family, is therefore of course possible, but should not occur too frequently in your own interest. You will then have to work on the topics covered in the medical masseur training course on your own. Please enquire with the individual schools about compulsory attendance and the maximum permitted absences, as we are unable to provide a general answer on this point.

The following personal skills are useful for training as a medical masseur:

  • Strong powers of observation
  • Good tactile perception
  • manual dexterity
  • good interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate and deal with conflict
  • social competence
  • Clean working practices and hygiene awareness
  • Sociability
  • Physical resilience

Continuing education, further training to become a medical masseur with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education can be completed full-time, part-time or on a part-time basis. Depending on the school at which you decide to train as a medical masseur, different forms of training are offered.
