Applicant must have a high school diploma or legal equivalent. Also, he/she must be physically capable of performing all massage techniques taught at the school.
Our Application Procedure
An application may be requested by writing or calling the school (or click the link to open a PDF version of our application form).
We recommend contacting us to arrange for a visit to our campus.
Applications with the $50 application fee should be submitted as soon as possible.
Each application must include the following:
~Completed application form
~Autobiography/Letter of Intent (why do you feel you would be a good candidate for massage therapy school?)
~Three letters of reference
~Non-refundable application fee ($50.00)
~Official transcripts from high school, colleges or technical training programs attended (if applicable). (*Transcripts need to be sent directly from your school to us.)
Part of the admissions process will include an interview.
You will receive notice of acceptance/denial following the interview and review of your application.
If you are accepted into the school but the class you applied for becomes full or is cancelled, the application fee may be applied to the next available class for up to one year.
Following acceptance, you will be scheduled for a meeting to finalize your enrollment. At this time, books and tuition fees are paid and massage table orders are placed, if a massage table is needed. Enrollment should be finalized 6 to 8 weeks before the start date of classes. This allows for the massage table orders and other equipment to be received in time before they are needed for the assignments in class.
EQUIPMENT
A massage table will be needed for the entire school year. We will gladly help assist and guide you in your search for the right massage table. We offer you the choice of purchasing a massage table from a supplier of your choice. However, it is highly advised that the student purchases a table through us. Because we are a school, we get discounts from reputable companies that offer high quality tables, many with lifetime guarantees. We gladly pass on discounts to our students in the hopes that they purchase a top-quality table that will last them the lifetime of their career.
Other equipment that will need to be purchased will be linens, massage oil/gel/lotion/cream and an oil holster, colored pencils, highlighter pens, note cards, stretch bands and/or modeling clay, a schedule planner/book, and more. These items will be discussed within the first few days of classes so students will know exactly what they will need to purchase.
Books and skeletal model are purchased through us. The cost of the books and skeletal model is approximately $750.00 plus tax.
There is also a Basic Supply Starter Kit all students are required to start out with, and that costs a total of $65.17. This includes a shirt (scrub top) for doing massages in, a Double Oil Holster from Oakworks, an 8 oz bottle of massage gel, and an 8 oz bottle of massage lotion.
