Entry Requirements
To qualify, applicants must possess a grade 12 (senior 4) or equivalent level of education (minimum GED). In some cases, the College may consider experience and background as equivalent. The minimum age requirement for those not holding a grade 12 is 19. Applicants must provide proof of reading comprehension levels adequate to understanding course texts and materials.
Applicants must be physically able to perform the work of therapist. Therefore, it is essential that
applicants be free of any physical impairment that would prevent their involvement in out-reach/off-site requirements or prohibit their ability to stand for two hours while performing massage techniques.
Students must complete a learning skills evaluation form, which is used to indicate individual
learning styles. It is not our intent to deter individuals from participating in massage therapy training but we feel it is our responsibility to help students understand both the physical and academic demands of their training at Wellington College.
Applicants will be asked to attend an interview with a College representative. The representative will also be looking for caring and compassion characteristics in applicants.
Maturity is also a factor in the success of a therapist. As vital members of a medical support team, therapists are required to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
