Ask Before you Decide- What is accreditation & why is it important?

Accreditation is  like a difficult test that requires every part of a school and the school’s program to be examined by experts. If the school and program passes this test, it means you can trust that the school provides an excellent curriculum and instructors.

Be sure to be informed- not all accreditation is created equal! Prospective students need to be aware of their school’s accreditation standards! Make sure the massage school you choose is accredited by a reputable accreditor. Remember, even if the INSTITUTION is accredited, that does not necessarily mean the school’s PROGRAM is accredited!

IOTM is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. ABHES is the ONLY accrediting agency that examines both the Institutional and Programmatic capacities of massage schools.

As a result of these stringent accreditation practices, IOTM meets and exceeds all the state requirements on graduation rates, state board passage rates and the percentage of graduates employed in a massage-related field
