We are strict about paying your payments on time. This is not a loan. You are paying in advance for the month of training you are about to receive. If you do not make that payment, you cannot attend class. This is our policy due to some unfortunate incidences in the past. We understand that things come up and life happens. Please make contingency plans for these cases. You may want to have a credit card on hand that you can use for payments in case of emergencies.

Certificate is not issued until tuition has been paid in full.

Expect approximately 5 hours (+/-) of self study and homework outside of class per week. This number may vary depending on your prior knowledge and study habits. Expect to be doing 1-2 hours of massage on your own time at home per week in order to fully absorb and integrate the techniques you learn in class. If you plan on working while going to school, be sure to budget your time to allow for this home study. This program is rich with information and experience and requires dedication. Do not expect to “breeze through it” just because it is a hands-on modality. Academic rigor is maintained.

Attendance is a major part of this program. Only 32 hours may be missed, and lateness will be counted towards this as well, and those hours must be made up through private tutoring. Missing more than 6 days, or 48 hours, total puts you at risk for dismissal. Massage therapy is a hands-on skill that needs supervised practice and must be learned in person. Examine your life carefully to be sure you can make this commitment. While we understand that things come up in life (illness, family issues, car trouble, snow, etc.) none of those are excused absences. There are no excused absences. All students must be physically present in order to receive credit for hours that will be listed on their transcript. Additionally, this is a mountain ski town. Please be sure your car is equipped to travel in snowy conditions. Snow days are called at the director’s discretion.

If you are relocating to Ruidoso, or driving from Roswell or further, you may wish to secure housing in Ruidoso, which can sometimes be challenging. We have a couple resources to help you find housing. ZiaHousing.net – This website has many current listings of rentals in the area, most with pictures and prices.  And last of all, driving around and looking for “For Rent” signs can be very fruitful! For some reason many people do not list their rentals in the paper or online.

Our scheduled dates for our modules are as follows:
