OBJECTIVE: CB Healing Institute provides a three hundred fifty (350) Hour Massage Therapy Program designed to meet the various needs of our learners.

This program has a portion of the training delivered through distance education. This enables the students to study at their own pace. Students will obtain distance education course material once they have signed an enrollment contract with CB Healing Institute. Training materials can be picked up in person or sent to the student. Once a student finishes a section they can return that section to the Administrator for grading. Students have four (4) months from the time they sign their enrollment contract to finish their distance education studies. A student is able to begin their on-site classroom training at any point during their distance education. However, they will need to complete all required distance education coursework by graduation of the on-site classroom training.

This program requires one hundred fifty (150) hours of distance education courses and two hundred (200) hours of on-site training. The distance education needs to be completed in four (4) months and the on-site training will be done in eight (8) weeks. Classes will be in session Monday through Saturday during the eight (8) week period. Hours per week will vary as follows, and may be subject to change: students will be in class for sixty three (63) hours for weeks 1 - 7 and for eleven (11) hours in week 8. Regardless of any variations in scheduling, on-site training will equal two hundred (200) total hours.

The entire two hundred (200) hours of on-site training must be completed, and grades of C or better on all sections of distance education must be earned in order for students to successfully complete this course. The program is designed for comprehensive training in Massage Therapy. Students will receive books, massage DVDs, uniforms, sheets and supplies as part of the program.
