- Massage Therapy – 3-Year Blended – Online + Onsite
Are you aspiring to become a Massage Therapist but find it challenging to attend physical classes due to your current circumstances? Do you need a flexible learning option that fits into your hectic schedule while allowing you to start your studies?
The Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy (CCMH) introduces a Hybrid Massage Therapy Program that merges online learning with on-campus education. This innovative program enables you to undertake the initial two years of health science and professional practice components online. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those who are employed full-time, caring for young children, or residing in remote areas. Following the online phase, you will transition to the final 1.5 years of clinical science and practical training on-site, joining the Fast Track class at our Halifax campus.
The on-site segment is more intensive, typically requiring students to be present on campus from Monday to Friday, possibly for half-day sessions. We design class schedules around the availability of our faculty members, who are also practicing therapists, ensuring that you receive education rooted in real-world experience. This blended approach offers a comprehensive pathway to becoming a Massage Therapist, accommodating your need for flexibility without compromising the quality of education.
