and anatomy, as well as receive hands on experience.
With this free introductory course completed, your student can then advance within
our comprehensive program that exceeds state requirements. Below are the benefits
of the Massage Therapist program at Harper College:
- Combining a variety of healing modalities with focus in both relaxation and rehabilitative
massage, our program provides a diverse education that increases potential for working
in different environments.
- Excellent, experienced instructors along with the combination of classroom and clinic
experience allow the student to prepare for real life situations.
- Classes are small to allow students individual attention. Generally, there are less
than 20 students per class.
- The program can be completed in 10 months.
- The state of Illinois requires that massage therapists successfully complete a minimum
of 600 hours of education including hands-on training from an approved provider and
then pass the national exam. Harper provides the training and the national exam is
administered by the Massage Board Licensing Exam (MBLEx).
