Laws vary from state to state, but typically certification schools require that you are 18 years old or older and have a high school diploma or GED. Depending on the state you live in, the amount of education hours at a certified Massage Therapy school can vary from 250-700. Further, you may need to also attain state and national licensing. The course work is a pretty intense mix of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and kinesiology.
Also, if you plan on moving to another state after you become certified, make sure you have attended a school that is accredited in that state. Otherwise, you may be looking at acquiring more hours or fees to become licensed. Be prepared to work hard once you graduate.
