In Washington State, massage is licensed under the Department of Health, and Licensed Massage Practitioners (LMPs) are health care providers. As such, massage is covered under most insurances, workman’s compensation and personal injury claims. The demand for competent, skilled Licensed Massage Practitioners continues to grow. As more and more people are learning about the benefits of massage, more employers are looking to incorporate massage therapy in their businesses.

Here at Clover Park Technical College, we strive to empower our students to achieve their Massage Career goal. Our program goes far beyond the minimum state requirements, focusing not only on different massage strokes and styles, but also the knowledge and skills needed to be a successful and practicing Licensed Massage Practitioner. Graduates of our program have consistently surpassed both state and national passrates on the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage. Our instructors are themselves successful Licensed Massage Practitioners, with years of experience both in the industry and as teaching professionals. Teaching techniques are creative and varied addressing a wide variety of learning styles.

In addition to the excellent education our successful students receive, they also benefit from campus services and activities available to them as Clover Park Technical College Students.
