How long will massage therapy school take?

FIDMpaige asked:


I’m going to take a 700 hour massage therapy course, and I am hoping to complete it in 6-7 months being a full-time student and going to school for the maximum amount of hours per day. Is this possible? I know that a 500 hour course only takes 4 months to complete, but I’ve heard a lot of people saying that it took them over a year to complete their training. How long does it usually take?
Any input would be great!

    It depends on how many days a week you have class. I went Wed., from 8am to 5pm, Thur. from 5pm to 9pm and Fri. 8am to 4pm for a 6 month 500 hr course. It also depends on the state you intend to practice in and how many hours they require. Hope this helps and good luck!
