February 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #22: Steps to Becoming a Massage Therapist

Tip of the Week

First, choose an educational facility that is reputable, professional, and accredited. Ensure that your State government recognizes the school for State licensing requirements. Cortiva Institute satisfies all of these requirements.

Once you find a school that is accredited, you want to ensure that it satisfies your personal needs as you become a certified massage therapist. Talk to the schools and find out their hours and facilities. Spend a day at the Cortiva Institute and sit in on a class or take a campus tour. This will familiarize you with the facility and give you a good idea of what type of education you will be receiving.
Financial aid, scholarships, and loans are available at many schools, including Cortiva Institute. Achieving your certification in massage therapy takes about 6-9 months and costs several thousand dollars, so financing is important.

It is a good idea to have a sense of your certified massage therapist career. This will help you understand why you are taking the courses offered and how they will fit into your future. Academic and job placement counsellors at the Cortiva Institute will help you discover what your certified massage therapist career will entail, and what job opportunities are available after you graduate.
