  • Homework - Expect approximately 10 hours of self study and homework outside of class per week. This number may vary depending on your prior knowledge and study habits. Expect to be doing 1-2 hours of massage on your own time at home per week in order to fully absorb and integrate the techniques you learn in class. If you plan on working while going to school, be sure to budget your time to allow for this home study. This program is rich with information and experience and requires dedication. Do not expect to "breeze through it" just because it is a hands-on modality. Academic rigor is maintained.
