Click to enlargeIf you wish to learn about massage therapy to pass the United States National Board Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, an accredited Costa Rica Massage school is an amazing option. Imagine dedicating yourself to learning in an exotic environment surrounded by like-minded individuals. A four month intensive camp like program gives you the advantage of enjoying student housing and most meals in an exotic vacation destination like Costa Rica. The tuition at the massage schools can be comparable to US programs and may include bonuses such as room and board, time off for sightseeing, ground transportation to and from the airport, optional lessons, massages, certification program, access to really amazing vacation destinations in Costa Rica, Kitchen, school equipment, surf lessons pool access, field trips and much more.

If you are not interested in certification back in the USA, but in actual knowledge of massage therapy, you can also take lessons in different aesthetic clinics in San Jose the way many ticos do. However, lessons will take somewhat longer to finish and will be given in Spanish, so you may want to polish up your language skills before taking the plunge. However, courses in English are the best option for those who don’t have the time or energy to dedicate to learning a new language on top of the massage therapy training.

If possible, a personal interview will be done, and they also require letters of reference, phone interview, health records, resume, educational transcripts and the written application. You don’t need prior experience, just to be over 18 years old and willing to learn all about physical therapy and massage.
