For Vicars Graduates
Vicars School of Massage Therapy is more than a school. It’s a community, and that does not end when you take home your diploma.
This page is your one-stop-shop for resources and updates to stay connected with the Vicars RMT community.Â
Our graduates are our ambassadors
Being a graduate of Vicars School is about more than just the logo on your diploma. It means you’re part of a community of massage therapy professionals committed to the highest standards of client care, and advancing the profession.
We get great feedback from employers and clients who have Vicars grads on staff or as their RMTs. We are proud of you all, whether you graduated in 2003 or just a few months ago. We are always happy to hear from our grads, but we think the greatest—and most sincere—compliment is when a student or grad takes the time to refer a prospective student to us. If you feel a friend or client would be a good fit for our program, please tell them about us, and ask them to tell us who referred them. Some of our best students come from referrals, and we appreciate the teamwork!
How our referral program works
Well, of course we’d say that. And it’s impolite to boast. But it’s true!
Vicars School graduates are a special group. Because our program is more flexible and more challenging than some, the people who choose a Vicars education tend to be independent, hard-working, and dedicated.
You know what you want, and you’re willing to work hard to get it.
This is reflected in the many different ways you’ve put your diplomas to work. Some of you have built your own business, others have joined established clinics and taken them to the next level, and some have returned to Vicars to help train the next generation of RMTs.
These stories are fascinating, and we love to tell them on our blog and on social media. Please let us know if you’d be interested in sharing your career updates with the community!
