The Program

The S.A.I.M. Therapeutic Massage Program can be equated to approximately three traditional College semesters. Students entering the S.A.I.M.

For the part time program students will be required to attend classes for twelve (12) consecutive months. This is an intensive course of study. Extra study time, clinic and fieldwork outside of the school will average approximately 10 hours per week. Students who satisfy the program requirements and successfully complete final exams will be given accreditation for a 1000 hours and receive a Diploma from S.A.I.M. Graduates from our program will be well recognized and respected in the field of Massage Therapy. Graduates should be sufficiently prepared to successfully complete the ARMTS provincial exam.
