Become an RMT

The Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba supports a minimum entry to practice education of 2200 hours of instruction or approximately two years of academic and practical/clinical education based on an approved curriculum.

The vast majority of the education of Massage Therapists across Canada occurs in 'Private Vocational' schools or colleges. In Manitoba, there are currently two schools of massage therapy offering a recognized two-year diploma program. Both of these schools are registered as private vocational schools with the Manitoba government's Advanced Education department.

For more information on the 'Private Vocational Schools' in Manitoba please visit the following website:

See the above page for a listing of 'Schools of Massage Therapy' in Manitoba.

If you are interested in becoming a 'Registered Massage Therapist' the MTAM advises you to speak with members of the MTAM about the profession and to contact the massage therapy schools listed above for detailed information about qualifications and the curriculum you will be required to completed before becoming an RMT.

Admission requirements for massage therapy diploma programs are set by each school, and a high school diploma or equivalent is typically included as one of the pre-requisites.
