Unless arranged otherwise, all modules take place at the Intimacy Matters treatment rooms in Sloane Square, London, SW1X 9DE.

For personal-learning courses (Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced), no — anyone can book without prior experience.

For the Professional Practitioner Training, if you have no experience of massage or intimate body work, you may be asked to attend an Induction Session first before being accepted onto the full 26-hour training.

All training runs on a private-tuition basis, with carefully selected and vetted volunteers for you to practise on. Volunteers are past clients of Intimacy Matters who give their time for free to help students learn.

Volunteers are required to be fit, healthy, and to give full informed consent to receive the practice massages given by a student under Colin's teaching guidance. They're also happy to give honest, generous feedback on your technique and style — feedback you'd struggle to get any other way.

Yes, at no charge — and where your friend or partner replaces a vetted volunteer, the cost of the course is reduced accordingly. Several pricing options on each course reflect this (e.g. Foundation Option 2 prices the course on partner + 1 volunteer rather than 2 volunteers).

Yes — you can take a class together with a friend by paying a 50% supplement on the published prices.

If both parties give consent, contact details can be exchanged after the training module. You're also invited to join the Students & Volunteers Group on Sensual Connect.

Two routes:

• Join the Sensual Connect community — many members have either taken a course, been a volunteer, or are clients of Intimacy Matters.
• Use a dating app and add to your profile that you're taking a course with Intimacy Matters and need practice between sessions. You'd be surprised how many people are interested.

Yes — 50% of the course fee on booking, with the balance due the day before your training begins. Ideally paid by bank transfer, but credit/debit card or cash are also accepted.

On or before the first day of the course. Bank transfer is preferred but credit/debit card or cash on request also work.

Yes — for the Combined Foundation & Intermediate courses, the Advanced course, and the Professional Practitioner Training. On request, Colin will work out a payment schedule across the duration of your training.

You have two options:

• Receive 75% of your deposit refunded, or
• Transfer your booking to a new start date that begins within 12 weeks of the original booking.

If the new training is not taken within that window, the deposit is forfeited.

Your deposit can be transferred only if both of these are true:

• You provide a new start date within 7 days of postponing, AND
• The new training begins within 12 weeks of the original date.

If either condition isn't met, the deposit is forfeited and a new booking is required.

Cancellations within 24 hours or non-attendance on the day result in loss of the full deposit.

If you don't attend a scheduled module without giving at least 24 hours' notice, that session won't be repeated and no refund is given.

Colin will always do his best to be fair and supportive in cases of bereavement, serious injury, or significant illness, where appropriate evidence is provided. With supporting evidence you may also pause your training — all remaining sessions then need to be completed within 12 months of your original start date.

If you're booking from outside London or fitting training around travel, taking out a cancellation insurance policy is a sensible safety net.

Just yourself, some light clothing for the early part of the class, and a light lunch if you're staying through the lunchtime period. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby.

Optional, depending on your motivation for taking the course and your own comfort. There's no pressure either way.

Yes — shower and towels are provided, and a hairdryer and brushes are available too.

Yes, on request — Colin can provide a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

It is essential that both you and your volunteer maintain confidentiality. The content of every session is private and is not shared with anyone outside the training.

Under no circumstances. Recording, photographing, or videoing any part of the training is not permitted.

No — at no point in any training is this permitted. The training is professional, instructional, and consent-based throughout.
