The first time I walked through the doors of Vicars, I thought “Oh, this feels right.” What I loved about Vicars is that they are there for you and will do everything to help you be successful. And I loved the science-based curriculum and practical knowledge. In every job interview I had [after I graduated], people said that by hiring a Vicars grad they knew they would be getting a highly trained massage therapist who performed very well.

Hands down the most affordable and professional experience you'll receive. Although these are massages given by "students," one can tell that their training is incredibly thorough. Moreover, their staff is extremely friendly and approachable! I have nothing but great things to say about Vicars. I highly recommend!

The teachers really understood everything about being an adult student so the whole experience for me was wonderful. I loved being a massage therapist and I’m so thankful for Vicars because it was very doable, and it really did change my life. It gave me a profession that I was proud of.

I love my career as a massage therapist! My education was excellent and I was fully prepared to work in a clinic with other experienced massage therapists when I graduated. I also love that I have flexibility with what hours I work. The instructors at Vicars were absolutely amazing!! Knowledgeable, encouraging and ALWAYS supportive.

This RMT certification is the best form of education within this field! As soon as any possible employer sees “Vicars Graduate” on a resume, it pulls that applicant to the top of the rank. Vicars teaches their students ALL they need to know to become successful in their career; and combined with a positive, hardworking attitude, success is at your fingertips. It is because of this educational foundation I am able to have a busy, growing business. Thank you Vicars School!

Vicars is an excellent school, and I am proud of who I am as a graduate of Vicars. Today you learn hard as you can, tomorrow you can be the best massage therapist in the city! I have enjoyed every moment of being an RMT so far. Thanks to all of my favourite instructors!

When I applied for jobs in Calgary after graduation, I got several phone calls from employers just because they liked that I had gone to Vicars. Vicars graduates have a good reputation amongst clients, and with other therapists. I’ve worked at clinics that have had Vicars graduates, and they are busy, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to work with. I am proud to be a Vicars graduate. Thank you!

Even after a busy day, I leave work so happy because I know that I’m helping so many people. I learned so much about myself while I was at Vicars. Between when I started school and when I finished, I gained so much more confidence: not only in my work, but in myself.

I’m not much of a classroom person – I find it hard to sit and listen to a lecture. So the fact that it was only four classroom days a month worked really well for me. It was hands-on and I got to learn a lot of information in a short amount of time, and then take it home and digest it myself and reread. That setup worked really well for the way that I like to learn.

I was working full-time and had kids. When I found out that Vicars had a weekend program, I knew that I’d be able to continue working while I was in school, which was key for us.
