Massage Therapist Programs
Program Overview
MTI offers four Massage Therapist Programs, with certificates given at 100, 250, 500, and 720 hours. Your training usually begins with the 100 hour Massage Therapist Program. This comprehensive training provides you with the skills and technique to begin working immediately as a massage therapist. We offer this program in the day (9am – 2pm), in the evening (6:15 – 10pm), on the weekends (5 weekends) and as a 12 day intensive (9am – 6pm). Once you have completed your 100 hr class, you can work as a Massage Therapist as long as you are in compliance with any local massage ordinace or alternatively have applied for and received provisional certification or certification through the California Massage Therapy Council (camtc.org). You can continue to take classes at your own pace, while you are working as a massage therapist, or you can transfer immediately into the 250 or 500 hour program to continue your training.
