Program Details

The 650 hour Massage Therapy Certification Program is completed in 6 months with a combination of online and in person courses.  This allows for students to complete anatomy and physiology, pathology, ethics, and introductory classes online while maintaining a work-life balance.  Once these hours are complete, students travel to our institute location to complete lab work, technique and modality skills, and clinical hours.  All online course work must be completed prior to beginning a hands-on session. We offer two courses a year with start dates in the spring and fall.  Most courses require out of class study time spent on reading, homework, projects, and technique practice. 

 

We offer an additional 100 hour paid externship at any of our three spa locations as a means for students to immerse themselves in the massage field upon graduation and provide immediate access into the massage industry. This is not mandatory.
