I sat for the boards in December, knowing that if I failed, I had to wait until the following
June to try again. Results came out 6 weeks later, and much to my relief, my name was
on the list of newly licensed massage therapists. What makes this so amazing and what
makes me all the more confident of my Carlson education, is this: over 900 people sat for
this test, and only 47% of them passed.

From anatomy & physiology, to hands-on techniques, to alternative modalities, CCMT
provides an education that will stand up to the standards of even the Ohio Medical Board.
Beyond a great education, the faculty at Carlson go the extra mile to make sure that the
students are truly understanding and applying the material. They cared more about
producing skilled, successful therapists than numbers or statistics.

Even now that I have graduated and moved three states away, I can still call up my
instructors and ask for business advice. And perhaps most importantly, I already have
clients who cannot believe that I am a new graduate because that is "the best massage
they have ever received." Carlson College provided me with everything I need to be a
successful massage therapist. What more can you ask for?

I graduated from CCMT in the fall of
2006. While most of my classmates
were registering for National Boards, I
was packing my bags and moving to
Ohio to be with my new husband. In
Ohio, massage therapy is governed by
the State Medical Board - national
certification means nothing. I had to
take the state medical boards for a
limited branch profession to be
considered licensed in Ohio. I was
confident of the education that I received
at Carlson, but had no idea how it would
stand up to Ohio standards.
