how do i become a massage therapist completely online

You can not. You have to go to a Message/cosmetology school, and put in the hours, So you can go to class(and work with a licensed Massage therapist/instructor.), and so you can work on Clients, and do the requirements you have to complete.

how do i become a massage therapist completely online

You can NOT get a legitimate massage therapy program online, sorry. There r a minimum number of hours for licensure, & most of those hours r clinical, meaning u r working in a clinical setting on-site & learning massage techniques. Perhaps there is a way to take some of the anatomy & kinesiology online, but none of the clinical hours can be done that way. If any school says they can do it, they r lying. Most private schools do NOT give scholarships. You should check a local community college that might have a two-year program, & u can probably get a scholarship or financial aid package from that school.

how do i become a massage therapist completely online

Hi! Great news! There r TONS of online degrees these days! To help u choose one, u might browse the following websites, to start with:

worldwidelearn.com

elearners.com

Not only can u earn a Bachelor is degree online, but u can go to school completely or almost completely all the way through the Ph.D. level! Thank goodness for today is technology!

I teach online through the Univ. of Phoenix, & I must say, we have an exceptional opportunity for anyone who wants to earn a college education online!

I also earned about 75% of my own college education (including the Master is level), & I can tell u that if u r self-motivated, u will love online learning!

As for massage therapy, I am not sure if u can do that completely online, although it is possible that u might earn some credits for the program online (e.g.: exercise science/ kinesiology). But massage therapy is a ''hands-on'' skill to be learned..literally! ;o)

Be open-minded about what academic/career path u will take. You might just start out taking general core courses that most all college students take, & in the mean time, meet with an academic advisor to help u realize ur greatest strengths & passions so that u know what direction to take!

Good luck with everything, & happy learning! ;o)
