Where a Dorset massage group would make sense
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole share a single council, BCP Council, and form one built-up area. A venue there could serve all three.
- Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
- See the Bournemouth page for journey times to Chichester.
- Ferndown and Wimborne Minster
- Close enough to the conurbation to join the same group.
- Dorchester and Weymouth
- Further west; register anyway so the interest is visible.
Travelling east from Dorset today
From Bournemouth, Chichester is about 65 miles by road, and the train needs a change at Southampton Central. From Dorchester or Weymouth, add the extra time to reach Bournemouth first.
That is manageable for an assessment visit on an online course. For several practical massage days in a row, most Dorset learners will want a group closer to home.
Dorset questions
Would a Dorset group be the same course as in Chichester?
Yes: the same Level 3 qualification and the same cap of 10 learners per group.
