Q: How long does becoming a Certified Massage Therapist generally take?
A: If you aim to obtain a certificate, the ARYM diploma for certified practitioners typically takes about two months, assuming you participate in two practitioner courses. However, you can receive your first AYM Practitioner certificate after completing a 9 to 15-day course, which will provide you with extended liability insurance cover.
The timeline for becoming a practising Massage Therapist with a clientele can vary significantly. It depends on your dedication, practice, and ability to build a clientele. Our therapist training courses provide comprehensive instruction to get you started. You’ll quickly learn the sequences and gain confidence as an AYM practitioner. However, building a clientele is gradual, requiring perseverance, discipline, and ongoing training.
You can generally start practising immediately after your first participation in our courses. It typically takes between 5 and 20 massages completed within a relatively short period to attract your first clients. However, it may take several months or even up to 3 years to establish a regular and sustainable clientele that allows you to make a living from your practice.
