Swedish Massage Practitioner Certification
Aug 17-29
with Felicity McKnight, HHP
& Jim Gallas, CMT

California now requires 250 hours of training for being a Certified Massage Practitioner, a title recognized statewide. Qualifying for that title continues to be voluntary, and it is possible to practice as a massage practitioner with fewer hours in those areas where lower local requirements exist, but practicing as a Certified Massage Practitioner requires the 250 hours of training.

We are pleased to present a high quality program providing certification at either the 100 hour or 250 hour level. The next 100 hour training will be August 17-29. To complete 250 hours, there are 3-day weekends, 25 hours each, Sep 24-26, Oct 29-31, Nov 5-7, Dec 3-5, Jan 7-9 2011, Feb 18-20 2011. See below for the 100 hour training curriculum, and see the School of Professional Massage home page for the 3-day weekends.
