- Our economy has created a financial burden on many individuals and families. However, because licensed massage therapists are in high demand, we are proud to offer this no out-of-pocket tuition opportunity to help more people enter the field and start a stable, rewarding career without the burden of additional monthly tuition payments.
Hands-On Class and Clinic Schedule
- When you begin the hands-on portion of the program, you’ll start by attending two hands-on classes per week. During this time, you’ll focus on building your foundation—learning massage techniques, body mechanics, and client communication skills. After you’ve completed 48 hours of hands-on training, your schedule will change. You’ll move to one hands-on class day per week and begin massaging in our student clinic, where you’ll provide real massages to the public under the supervision of licensed instructors. You’ll be required to complete at least one clinic day per week, but you can add additional clinic days if you wish to complete the program sooner. Between hands-on classes and clinic work, you can schedule up to 30 total in-class hours per week. Students have the flexibility to choose the days they want to attend clinics (other than their required hands-on class day) and can select either morning or evening clinic hours based on what works best for their schedule. If at any point you decide you want to add more hours or reduce your weekly schedule, you can easily make adjustments as you go. This flexible design allows you to move through the program at your own pace while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
No Out-of-Pocket Tuition Option
- Source Institute offers a No Out-of-Pocket Tuition option that allows students to graduate without paying traditional tuition costs. Instead of paying tuition, students participate in our elective clinical program, completing an additional total of 260 massages in the student clinic. By completing all 260 massages, your tuition will owe no tuition out-of-pocket. This option gives students a unique opportunity to gain extensive hands-on experience while earning their education with no student loans and no monthly tuition payments. Students are still responsible for the $150 registration fee and the $150 book and supply fee, which are due before the program begins.
What You’ll Pay Up Front:
- $75 – Supply fee
- $150 – One-time registration fee
- $9.50 - One-time processing fee
- That’s it — no more payments.
- No tuition payments. No loans. No credit checks. Once you’ve paid these initial fees, you’ll attend school with no tuition payments — while training for a successful career in massage therapy.
