RMT Education that Meets the Highest National Standards

At Vicars School of Massage Therapy, you will get a massage therapy education that meets the highest national standards—on a schedule that fits your life.

Our blended-learning classes require you to be in a classroom four days a month for intensive, hands-on instruction. Outside of these class dates, you will work from home, following our exclusive materials online on the Moodle platform. You can choose classes that meet monthly, weekly or every other weekend. Classes and clinics are held on Vicars campuses in Edmonton or Calgary. This flexible schedule means there’s no need to relocate to pursue your dream of becoming a registered massage therapist.

Small class sizes and custom-made learning materials mean you get plenty of personalized instruction, and all the support you need in and out of the classroom. For your essential massage practicum, you’ll spend 5-6 shifts a month practicing your skills in our student clinics. You will start these supervised student clinics mid-way through first year.

Our program follows the highest Canadian massage therapy education standards: we have full accreditation status from the Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation.

We are continuously improving our curriculum and teaching methods based on the latest research and changes in the massage therapy industry, so you can feel secure that your training will prepare you to pursue a rewarding and successful massage career. Vicars School of Massage Therapy is a Massage Therapist Association of Alberta (MTAA) approved program.

Financial Aid is available to those who qualify.

What our
Graduates Say

I love my career as a massage therapist! My education was excellent and I was fully prepared to work in a clinic with other experienced massage therapists when I graduated. I also love that I have flexibility with what hours I work.

The instructors at Vicars were absolutely amazing!! Knowledgeable, encouraging and ALWAYS supportive.

Jennifer Stockton

Even after a busy day, I leave work so happy because I know that I’m helping so many people. I learned so much about myself while I was at Vicars. Between when I started school and when I finished, I gained so much more confidence: not only in my work, but in myself.

Emma Johannesson

When I applied for jobs in Calgary after graduation, I got several phone calls from employers just because they liked that I had gone to Vicars.

Vicars graduates have a good reputation amongst clients, and with other therapists. I’ve worked at clinics that have had Vicars graduates, and they are busy, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to work with.

I am proud to be a Vicars graduate.

Ryan Kim

This RMT certification is the best form of education within this field! As soon as any possible employer sees “Vicars Graduate” on a resume, it pulls that applicant to the top of the rank.

Vicars teaches their students ALL they need to know to become successful in their career; and combined with a positive, hardworking attitude, success is at your fingertips. It is because of this educational foundation I am able to have a busy, growing business. Thank you Vicars School!

Nadine Flundra

I’m not much of a classroom person – I find it hard to sit and listen to a lecture. So the fact that it was only four classroom days a month worked really well for me. It was hands-on and I got to learn a lot of information in a short amount of time, and then take it home and digest it myself and reread. That setup worked really well for the way that I like to learn.

Karen Goforth

I’m proud to be a graduate of a school with a curriculum that placed me miles ahead of other schools’ graduates in term of knowledge, skills, and professionalism.

Burhan Imamwerdi

Vicars School prepared me amazingly. Great hands-on education rather than just textbook knowledge, plenty of practical work, and experience with real-life conditions often found in the massage field.

Samantha Marriott

It was a very positive, life-changing experience. The material provided me with the knowledge and skills to make me feel very confident in my practice. The instructors really knew the material and were invested in each of us.

Monique Krushelniski

Vicars School prepared me fully for my career as a massage therapist. We learned anatomy, practical massage, the emotional component of working with people, business management, administration and so much more.

Henriette Smith

The flexible schedules allowed me to raise my young family and still attend full-time school. Vicars has amazing teachers, and their extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and conditions gave me a skill set that has made me the massage therapist I am today.
