1. Get a high school diploma then go to college.There are specific classes and schools. Avoid any that advertise on TV. Ask a massage therapist for sure.
2. This is a vocational program so either a private training center or a community college may offer this.. Upon graduation you then take an apprenticeship program.
3. Anatomy and physiology will be very helpful if you plan on attending a massage school. Also, a basic psychology class if it's offered at your high school. Massage schools range from 9 months to 3 years, depending on where you live. Some schools are in a college type setting and others are less formal.
