Flexible and Comprehensive Program Structure
Our program offers the flexibility to suit your lifestyle and commitments, with options for a 6-month full-time or a 12-month part-time schedule. This program is a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, ensuring a well-rounded education in massage therapy.

Why Our Program Stands Out
At NC Massage School, our diploma program is not just an educational journey; it’s a pathway to becoming a distinguished professional in massage therapy. We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive program that goes beyond basic instruction, providing you with both a Diploma and a Certification in Clinical Neuromuscular and Structural Bodywork. This dual recognition not only bolsters your professional credibility but also equips you with specialized skills that are in high demand in the massage therapy industry.
