Focused Career Education
You can receive hands-on training in clinical massage therapy from professional instructors at our Hammond campus. Our program emphasizes the job knowledge and technical skills that can enable you to become a successful clinical massage therapist.
Certification Program
Kaplan College's Clinical Massage Therapy Certificate program covers the basics of Swedish, sports, and chair massage; anatomy; physiology; pathology; massage ethics; and more. Upon graduation, you can seek employment as a clinical massage therapist in the state of Indiana or begin your own clinical massage practice. You also are eligible to sit for national certification through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCTMB).*
* However, the College cannot guarantee your eligibility either to take this exam or become certified. Your eligibility may depend on your work experience, completion of high school (or its equivalent), not having a criminal record, meeting other licensure or certification requirements, or the program or College itself having appropriate accreditation or licensure. Externship sites may themselves require a criminal background check or medical examination.
