• Demonstration of the whole treatment –application of the candles and massage sequence
• Lunch break
• 30 minute written test paper based on the theory and practical demonstration
• a paired session which is the practical test
• use of the otoscope to view the outer ear canal [time permitting].

Please bring a pen/pencil and paper and a blanket/towel. Students should also bring their own lunch.
Loose clothing should be worn and during the practical work minimal clothing is removed. Smoking is not permitted on the premises.

Because massage will be undertaken, normal standards of cleanliness will be expected, including short fingernails.

It should be noted that the test paper will be based on information included within the course work notes.
