Ariana with hands on client's back - ZR - IMG_3624What to Look for in a Massage Therapy Instructor’s Course

The first step would be to research and decide whether you prefer an online MTI course or a course that is offered in a classroom environment. Many people prefer an online course since the information presented in an MTI course is cognitive in nature and the online format lends itself well to cognitive classes, while other students prefer personal interactions in a classroom setting. There are also financial considerations to be contemplated; the tuition for an online course is usually less expensive than a classroom course. Online courses also take less time away from income-producing activities while accomplishing the goal of successfully completing an MTI course and beginning a career as an MTI. Here is a testimonial from a student, “I was fully challenged to retain and learn new information. This course was accessible to me online which I love because I don’t have the time for traveling for CEs. Thank you so much giving LMTs like me the opportunity to excel in business and in life. Completing this course makes me feel self-sufficient. Thank you!” – Sabrina Quebe, LMT, MTI Continue reading “Positive Influence – PART 2”

Golden Opportunities For Massage Therapy Instructors

Posted on by admin

What opportunities lie ahead for massage therapy instructors? The first step to answering this question is to go within and determine the type of environment that best suits your personality patterns, conforms with your personal and professional goals, and that you would find the most soul-satisfying. Many Massage Therapy Instructors aspire to offer CE courses in one of three ways: (1) independently, (2) by working for a national company that offers CE courses, and/or (3) by offering CE courses in a formal massage school environment.
