Advanced College Diploma - Massage Therapy (MTAS)

The Advanced College Diploma - Massage Therapy (MTAS) at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a advanced college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will prepare for a career as a Registered Massage Therapist — studying anatomy and physiology, pathology, massage techniques, assessment and treatment planning — with extensive supervised clinical training. The program is designed to prepare graduates to pursue registration as an RMT in Ontario, a regulated, respected health profession. Graduates work in clinics, rehabilitation and sports settings, spas and self-employment, where demand is strong and growing.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 51.3501), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit — the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Registered Massage Therapist, Clinic Massage Therapist and Sports/Rehabilitation Therapist, leaving with practical skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

With small classes, supportive instructors and a hands-on approach, international students at Loyalist College get personal attention and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
