 The International Academy of Massage strives to provide students with a competency-based massage education wherein learning is structured around the real-world role and function of a massage therapist and which helps graduates to become successes in the massage industry. Any particular massage program may include learning related to practical skills, knowledge, reasoning, attitudes, and values -- all of which must meet the massage industry standards.

The International Academy of Massage takes a special interest in the student and every effort is made to extend learning beyond the classroom. Students enjoy many opportunities for off-site training and benefit from a very favorable student-teacher ratio. With the added support of a teacher’s assistant in some classes, the student receives personalized attention during his/her learning experience. Participation in on-site and off-site clinicals -- as well as sporting events -- helps to develop the practical application of student studies. Additionally, the International Academy of Massage retains an on-site R.M.T. Program Coordinator to ensure that each student receives a well-balanced educational experience.

 Massage Therapy Program
The Massage Therapy Program is a comprehensive 2348 hours of study, comprised of 2280 academic/practical hours and 68 supervised project hours. Upon graduation the student receives a diploma in massage therapy from the International Academy of Massage. The student is well prepared to undertake the examinations administered by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario to become licensed to practice in Ontario, and to earn the designation of registered massage therapist (R.M.T.). To be licensed as an R.M.T. in Ontario, you must have landed immigrant status, or be a Canadian citizen at the time of writing the provincial examinations.
The competencies that currently define massage therapy practice -- being broadly defined as health science, professional development, and clinical science -- are integrated within the program structure through the study of selected subjects and the practical application of massage techniques. The goal is to provide entry-level knowledge, allowing the graduate therapist to apply, with a strong sense of confidence, both academic and practical application principles within the context of client care.
