We also hold Information Sessions and offer "Student for a Day" programs for prospective students wanting to explore a career in massage therapy. High school students can arrange job-shadowing by having their school counsellor contact WCCMT admissions.
Is there a charge for the Student for a Day?
No, this program is free and so is our Admissions Open Houses for the Registered Massage Therapy and Spa Practitioner programs. These are available to students investigating a career in massage therapy who wish to experience first-hand what WCCMT has to offer.
What are your prerequisites?
Applicants must have a minimum of high school graduation for the Registered Massage Therapy program and Spa Practitioner program and grade twelve(12) English (at 70%) for the Registered Massage Therapy program. Applicants are required to have successfully completed a three-day Introduction to Massage weekend workshop offered at WCCMT.
How can I determine if a course I have taken elsewhere will meet the prerequisite requirements at WCCMT?
If you are uncertain whether your course meets WCCMT requirements, please provide us with a copy of your transcripts and a description (course outline) of the course or courses for which you are seeking equivalency. If necessary we will conduct a prior learning assessment to determine which courses may be transferable. There is a $250 fee for this service.
