Frequently asked questions
How much can I earn as an RMT?
Income potential varies with experience. Fees typically range from $90 to more than $120 for a 60-minute massage. A sustainable practice involves 4-6 massages per day. Vicars graduates tend to be fully booked within their first year.
Can I work outside Alberta with a Vicars diploma?
Yes. CMTCA accreditation allows our graduates to apply directly to write the registration exams in British Columbia, Ontario, and other regulated provinces. Once registered in one province, you can practice in any of them.
Is massage therapy regulated in Alberta?
Massage therapy is not provincially regulated in Alberta, but CMTCA accreditation ensures your education meets the highest national standards. This voluntary accreditation means you're trained to the same level as therapists in regulated provinces.
What's the job outlook for RMTs?
Federal and provincial data indicate job prospects for RMTs are "good" or "very good" across Canada. There is growing public and medical interest in complementary health care, and massage therapy is valued for its physical and mental health benefits.
Do most RMTs work for themselves?
Yes, many massage therapists prefer self-employment. As many as two-thirds of Vicars graduates are entrepreneurs, working for themselves and often hiring others as their business grows. Our program includes business training to help you succeed.
