BLENDED LEARNING
Please note Yahoo emails are currently not eligible for communication.
We are excited to announce that the Medical Massage Therapy program is now blended (online & in-person). Enroll in our hands-on, innovative class for advanced students. Our qualified and experienced instructors serve as facilitators of the learning process. Instead of simply lecturing, they guide students by helping to make sense of course materials, encouraging them to ask questions and explore solutions, and promoting the use of resources outside of the classroom. We value you, which is why we have designed the program to prioritize mental health by scheduling exams and major assignments around breaks. Your breaks are intended to be times for you to unplug. We cater to various learning types and prioritize hands-on applications in as many courses as possible. Axiom students consistently score above average on the Minimum Qualifying Exam (MQE) to become a Registered Massage Therapist. Not to mention, we encourage you to have fun while you apply yourself to learning and growing. Working hard and having fun are not opposing forces, in our opinion. Remember, "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
Our 2,200-hour program is completed over two-years to become a professional Massage Therapist.
Axiom Career College complies with the Canadian standard of Inter‐Jurisdictional Practice Competencies and Performance Indicators for Massage Therapists at Entry‐to‐Practice.

Start With Us!
Transferring from another institution is very possible. The first step is to contact us in advance so we can have a conversation about your specific situation and inform you of your options. We will not pressure you to join us, so you are safe to explore your options. Transferring must make financial sense for you, and we are conscious of your time and money; we don’t want you to be at a major loss. Frequently, we encounter students wanting to take their second year with us. Our goal is to help you transition smoothly. Axiom does accept transfer credits from other programs, and you are not limited to massage program credits. We will require transcripts to assess if they are eligible. Based on that assessment, we will recommend which course(s) (if any) you will need to take so you are successful in our program. If you’re transferring from another massage program, we need to assess what you have successfully passed (transcripts); we have a short upgrading course to ensure that transfer students are successful in processing their second year with us. Think of this upgrading as filling in the gaps between programs because we all do things differently. There is a fee for the upgrading course. We want you to have at least a month to go through the upgrading process before you start with us. Students who engage in this process transition better into our program. We want to help you develop into your best self by ensuring you’re at the same stage as your peers. Once we have processed all the details of your inquiry (conversation, transcripts, assessment), we encourage you to take some time to discern. This is a big decision, and you need to do what is right for you! If Axiom is right for you, then from there we will hit the ground running. We get you started with upgrading, make appointments for admissions (which includes assistance with financial aid), and get you ready to join us for the next program start date. Don’t be afraid to contact us; we are here to help you make an informed decision, even if you choose not to join us. We are passionate about helping people, regardless of where you are.
