WHAT OTHERS SAY:
Last days I intesively studied online gift course. I am very thankful for the possibility of online courses as is now for me the only way to get deeper into the topic. And I am very satisfied with the school I have chosen, its clearly understandable and easy to study. In some moments I would appreciate better camera views, but that moments werent many.Tomorrow I am going to start chi nei sang that I am really looking for and keen on 🙏. Hope that one day later I can buy and study some of that therapeutical courses available and wish to experience Thai retreat as well. Good luck and best wishes
I have started following an online abdominal massage therapy course last few days ago. I found it very interesting as many people don’t realize how important it is to be paid attention to. It’s a great program and the explanation is very clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much and keep making people happy.
They love what they do and you can tell by simply watching a tutorial video. It’s that obvious. ☺️Massage is a form of healing both body and soul. Is there a better combination?….
Very nice school!!Easy to understand all the online videos and explanations!!
So happy to have found ITM in Amsterdam. I feel very grateful to have had such inspiring and enthusiastic teachers. I was working in an office job for years before and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t feeling happy. It launched me smiling into a whole world of holistic health and healing for which I am so happy to have discovered. My whole life has changed. I was inspired to take more courses and went to ITM Chang Mai in Thailand also. Since then I’ve been to India to stay in an Ashram, my whole world has changed and I feel so thankful to ITM for supporting me at the start of my journey.
I enrolled for the month course with four modules. Thai table, Deep tissue, Thai chair and Thai reflexology. I really enjoyed the courses. Very informative and inspiring. I liked Manel’s method of teaching. I learned a lot and have been practicing as often as I can. I am looking forward to the advanced courses in February and March.
Such a lovely location to get out of hectic daily life and start enjoying the moment. These past weeks I’ve joined classes online and at their beautiful location in Amsterdam West. It has been an pleasure to learn, explore and receive traditional Thai Yoga massage. A skill, and way of living, for a lifetime! I’m looking forward to continue my training and learn and experience even more of those ancient, powerful techniques.
I have completed the online chair massage course and found it very valuable. Along with the manual it was very easy to follow and I learned a lot. I can really see the advantages of an online course; you can study whenever you like and can always look back if you have forgotten some posture or something. Although nothing goes above a live class with you:)
So thanks again and also for all the other stuff I have learned from you the past years. That was a lot I just realised.
The online courses and workshops on offer at ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam never disappoint. The online Massage Therapy for Back Pain course is well-structured, easy to follow, and clearly explained both from the vantage point of anatomy as well as technique, while elaborating on the important aspects of contraindication, practice and know-how. Nicole and Manel are wonderful teachers full of enthusiasm and respect for their profession, eager to pass on their vast knowledge of massage, and to offer guidance.
Of course, massage can never be taught only passively, though: giving and receiving are paramount in learning. For this reason, not only do I warmly recommend the material available online, but I also encourage everyone to give a try to an in-class experience, be it a workshop, or a full course.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful gift of access to your Thai chair massage course. I managed to complete it and just have to practice now! With these courses you’ve made it possible to study massage online so we can continue developing from abroad. Clear, easy to follow and the video demonstrations are a great compliment with the instruction manual to understand fully each technique. I love this way of learning. Hartilijk dank y muchísimas gracias de mi corazón. So glad you guys exist!
Any questions?
Please read below FAQ
Do I get a certificate?
Upon successful completion of the course, it is optional to get certified. The certification consists of a practical exam – live in our school in Amsterdam or online – the fee is 90 euro and you can take the exam whenever you are ready.
ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam is an internationally accredited massage school, a franchise of ITM Chiang Mai, awarded as the best Massage School in Thailand.
Our school is registered at the Central Register of Short Professional Education, CRKBO (Centraal Register Kort Beroepsonderwijs) and the World Massage Federation.
The certificates you will receive as a graduate of our courses are internationally recognized.
Can I work as a professional massage therapist after receiving an ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam diploma?
Yes, you can. When you graduate from your ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam massage training course, you will receive an internationally recognized certificate.
This type of qualification is recognised in different countries. It will inform employers and clients that you have received the training necessary to practise massage therapy as a professional massage therapist.
ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam is widely considered to be a leading provider of Nuad Thai Massage training in Amsterdam. This is why we frequently receive requests from Spa’s, yoga studios, health centers and massage studios if we have graduates to fill in their massage vacancies.
In the Netherlands, the profession of ‘massage therapist’ is not protected. You can start working as an independent massage therapist as soon as you have a work space and are registered at the Chamber of Commerce. Your certification also allows you to work at Spa’s, wellness centers and yoga schools. There is a large demand for Nuad Thai massage therapists.
However, if you want to become a massage therapist, we recommend you to follow the Nuad Thai Massage full program, so you will learn different massage techniques to offer your clients, plus you’ll learn all you need to know to become a professional massage therapist, how to set up your company, how to find clients etc. For the Nuad Thai Massage Program click here.

What do I need?
To start your massage course you don’t need anything specific. Just wear comfortable clothes in which you can move freely.
I'm not sure if my English is sufficient?
The massage courses are taught in English at Massage School ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam. Also the didactic materials are in English. But if you have a problem with the language, we also speak Dutch and Spanish. Our students come from different countries. Some have English as their mother tongue, but most have English as a second or third language. Our students have never had a problem with the language, even if their English is very basic. Thai massage is traditionally taught and learned by feeling and looking – so English is not essential, but only makes it easier to learn.
Do I need to have any qualifications to start the course?
You don’t need to have any experience. Some of our students have a medical background or are already working as a masseur. But this is not needed for the course. We will teach you step-by-step from the start how to give professional massage treatments.
How can I tell which massage school is best for me?
When comparing massage courses there are many factors to keep in mind. The quality of the teachers, the curriculum,the amount of hands-on practice material, the qualification you will receive, the style of teaching and of course your own goals, just to name a few.
Our team at ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam is happy to help you guide through all these factors, so you can make an informed decision. If you like you can even sit-in on a massage class to see if our teaching style is what you are looking for. Just email info@thai-hand.com if you like to do that and we can let you know the possibilities.
