Institute Vision/MissionMH Vicars School of Massage Therapy, with campuses in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, is a great choice for mature students because the school's independent study format allows them to fit their training into current work and family schedules.
Students do most of the work by independent study, and attend weekly or monthly tutorials for lectures, demonstrations and hands-on practice. Between tutorials, students work at home, using the school's materials to guide them. Instructors are available by e-mail.
It is affordable training for a second career: students keep their day jobs, and rural or out of province students do not have to leave their home town. Even with the cost of commuting, it is more economical (and family-friendly) choice than regular full-time studies.
The school's standards of instruction and materials are at the highest level, confirmed by the top marks MH Vicars graduates earn in the entrance exams for Alberta and Saskatchewan professional associations.
While the school welcomes international students, it does not offer services that support international students with regard to obtaining study visas, accommodation etc.
