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.

For your essential massage practicum, you’ll spend 5-6 shifts a month practicing your skills in our supervised student clinics, starting mid-way through first year.

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.
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.
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.
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!
The first time I walked through the doors of Vicars, I thought “Oh, this feels right.” What I loved about Vicars is that they are there for you and will do everything to help you be successful. And I loved the science-based curriculum and practical knowledge.
In every job interview I had [after I graduated], people said that by hiring a Vicars grad they knew they would be getting a highly trained massage therapist who performed very well.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I love that a healing touch can do so much for someone. Seeing the way you affect someone’s life is the most rewarding feeling you will ever have.
