Programs provided by the Northern Institute of Massage Therapy Inc. are an unique combination of classroom instruction, home study assignments, correspondence and work experience. This allows students to continue working or raising a family while achieving a higher level of education and obtaining a new profession.
Unlike most schools, the Northern Institute of Massage Therapy Inc. does not utilize classroom instruction for the majority of its program content.
Although attendance IS mandatory for the classroom instruction component of the programs, the majority of instructional time is spent on independent learning of assigned home study topics, correspondence and work experience.
Our programs provide for the development of both the academic and non-academic skill sets required for success in the field of Massage Therapy.
The majority of our students have secured massage employment PRIOR to completion of the Basic program.
If they choose to continue on to the second year ADVANCED program they are in the unique position OF ATTENDING SCHOOL WHILE WORKING IN THE PROFESSION.
This puts our students at a distinct advantage because they can bring their questions and comments back to class for discussion and direction. Also, because our graduates DO NOT need any additional post graduate training they are in high demand in the profession and requests for our graduates currently exceeds supply.
All classroom instruction takes place at the Northern Institute of Massage Therapy Inc. campus in Red Deer, Alberta. Classes are conducted approximately one weekend per month, on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Classes begin in both September and January for the Basic Relaxation Massage program, and in September only for the Advanced Therapeutic Massage program.
At Northern Institute of Massage Therapy Inc., we want all of our students to excel in their studies, but recognize that some students need extra help to achieve this. For this reason, we now offer a BACK TO SCHOOL STUDY SKILLS REVIEW workshop. This is a 1 day workshop that has been designed to help students:
- get organized
- prioritize study material
- use learning aids properly
- maximize memory
- make studying work for them
- successfully complete all program requirements.
This workshop is not compulsory but is highly recommended. Check under "Workshops" for upcoming session dates and registration information.
