Health Occupations (Non-Nursing)
Massage Therapy Certificate
Massage therapy is one of the fastest growing fields in health care today. The CMT program at Morgan Community College is designed to provide the skills and credentials students need to work as massage therapists in health care settings, spas, and private practice. Many health care professionals enroll in the Massage Therapy program as an additional certification to enhance their job skills and employability. The MCC program is based on American Massage Therapy guidelines and meets the criteria for State of Colorado certification. Classes are scheduled weekends and evenings on the Fort Morgan campus, and some classes are available at MCC Centers. Students are welcome to enroll in many of the CMT classes without specifically being accepted into the program.
Program prerequisites and additional requirements:
Current CPR and First Aid certificates are required before students participate in clinical training. (This can be met by taking HWE 103 (1 credit) Community First Aid.)
