Becoming a Massage Therapist

It doesn’t take long to start your journey towards becoming a licensed Massage Therapist. All it takes is a little bit of time and dedication to the practice. You have the option to attend our school part-time (which will take about two years) or full-time (which will take about one year). After you complete the program and graduate, you can then take the board exam to earn your license – a test our program thoroughly prepares you for.

At the New York Institute of Massage, our staff is here to get you on your way to a fulfilling career as a licensed Massage Therapist. We offer academic counseling services, assistance with financial aid and loans, and free remedial classes for those who need them.
