Partner of the Month
The Continuing Education team at Keyano College is proud to have partnerships with industry, post secondary institutions, professional groups and professional accreditations.
This month we feature:
Massage Therapy Training
Alberta Massage Training offers programs in 5 cities across Alberta. We have been delivering our programs in partnership with Keyano College since 2003. We pride ourselves in teaching people how to be successful in their work. We are abreast with the changes of the profession and are prepared should any government regulation come forth.
We offer two programs adding to a total of 2200 hours, which is considered the norm across Canada. Graduates from the first program can enter the professional work world with great confidence or continue into the second year Massage Therapy Diploma Program.
Flexible Learning
Our flexible learning may be the right choice for you if:
• You would like a career in massage therapy, but a full time on-campus schedule is not right for you
• You are currently employed, a student or have an otherwise busy lifestyle
We can arrange for you to visit a class in session.
Our flexible learning approach combines distance learning with regular in-class tutorials. You will work through directed readings and specific content on your own and receive credit for those hours spent away from class. Email, fax and telephone access are always available to reach our instructors. Written testing and hands on skills will dominate the in-class section of the course.
Graduating students are tracked to assess their employment success and how well the course prepared them for their professional responsibilities. We analyze all comments seriously to review and revise the course as needed.
