Kapi`olani Community College’s Massage Therapy Program is a 600+ hour non-credit, evening/weekend program comprised of coursework with theory, ample hands-on practice, competency testing and clinical experience. The length of the program is approximately 11 months to complete. It includes two certificates of competence, one in General Massage Therapy and another in Specialty Massage Therapy.
Students who successfully complete both certificates in its entirety at Kapi`olani Community College will be eligible to take the Hawaii State Board of Massage License Examination, as well as the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
KCC offers a very high quality massage therapy education provided by some of the finest instructors from Hawaii and from the mainland. Besides lectures and lab experiences, students are also encouraged to take an active role in the community outside of the campus and are given ample opportunities to participate and provide student massages in the community and at other organized events.
Class meeting times are usually limited to Mondays through Thursdays from 6pm to 9pm to meet the needs of many who work or attend school during the day. On some occasions, the class may meet on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays with advance notice to students. Student clinic times may be custom tailored to meet each student’s schedule, but are usually available from 2pm to 6pm, Mondays through Saturdays.
